UK’s 4-day workweek trial sees surge in applicants

UK’s 4-day workweek trial sees surge in applicants

The four-day workweek trial of some companies within the United Kingdom (UK) is resulting in a surge of applications from interested job seekers.

In an interview with CNBC’s Make It, Helen Brittain, HR Director at environmental consultancy Tyler Grange, said that their recruitment page’s traffic went up by 60% while company inquiries rose by 534%. 

“The interest that people are showing in the company is amazing,” Brittain added. 

At the same time, gaming-focused communications consultancy The Story Mob reported an “increased intent” from job seekers since implementing a four-day work week. 

The Story Mob founder and co-CEO Anna Rozwandowicz added that the firm was able to fill a position that had been vacant for a long time. 

UK’s four-day workweek trial started last June 7, 2022, and is slated to last until the end of the year. According to industry players, the idea behind this initiative is to deliver the same levels of productivity and output in 20% less time for 100% of their pay. 

The 4 Day Week Global campaign trial has also started in Australia and New Zealand and is planning to expand in the United States, Canada, Europe, and South Africa throughout 2022 and 2023.
