The report by the thinktank Autonomy (Four-day working week could create 500K new jobs in UK, study says, 30 August) is very welcome – and timely. Rishi Sunak should commission a study on the viability of a four-day week as a matter of urgency. That is why we have all started a four-day working week – without any reduction in pay – to help support our employees’ mental health and wellbeing, and give them a healthier work-life balance. Every single week, we have achieved our targets, productivity has been boosted and staff are loving their four-day week. We’re now calling on the rest of the business community to follow suit and move to a four-day working week.
