A shorter working week will bring benefits in wellbeing and productivity after a trial in Iceland was branded an ‘overwhelming success’
DISCUSSIONS are taking place on how Scotland will test the model of a four-day working week, the Sunday National can reveal.
The design of a pilot scheme is being worked on following a pledge in the SNP manifesto for a £10 million fund to allow companies to explore the benefits of a shorter week.
It comes after the world’s largest ever test of a four-day week in the public sector in Iceland was reported to be an “overwhelming success”.
