Could a four-day work week become the norm?
When Joe Dance was offered the chance to earn his full salary by working just four days a week, he was sceptical.
It's not about cramming five days' work into four. Instead workers are earning 100% of their salary for 80% of the hours they would normally do. The aim is to be more productive. But at the halfway point in September 86% of companies taking part said the four-day week was working well and they were likely to keep it.Mr Dance said: "I've kind of eaten every single one of my words purely because, you know, it's actually made us better."
"It's not exactly restful, but it's wonderful. Having a newborn was part of the reason I decided to give it such a good go. Because once that time is gone, you don't get it back," he said.
