The Belgian government has agreed to vote on a countrywide introduction of a four-day working week. The federal government will consider the proposal next week in what is the latest move towards a more flexible working future in Europe. Meanwhile, a number of companies in Spain are currently trialing a four-day week after a small political party's proposal was accepted by the wider government late last year. With this in mind, the Icelandic approach to the four-day work week is still favoured by many commentators. In some companies though, a four-day week may seem like too much work.
