Four-day working week trial under way

A new pilot programme for employers to test the effectiveness of a four-day working week for staff with no loss of pay is being launched today. The six-month experiment is being organised by the Four Day Week Ireland campaign, which claims it can deliver positive results for business and work/life balance for employees. "In the last year we have seen radical shifts in our working practices. More flexible ways of working are here to stay," said Joe O'Connor, Chairperson of the Four Day Week Ireland which is comprised of representatives from trade union Fórsa, ICTU, the National Women’s Council, Friends of the Earth Ireland and academics. "The launch of the four-day week pilot programme represents an exciting moment of change for employers and employees, and it’s up to the business community now to show that they are willing to lead and support this change for the better." Under the plan, organisations will receive supports, training and mentoring on how to make the concept operate smoothly. The Government is also to fund a call for research to assess the economic, social, and environmental impacts of a four-day working week in a specifically Irish context, as part of the plan.
