The 4 Day Week Foundation has announced a new sector specific four-day week pilot for organisations in the technology sector.

​​

The programme will kick off in May 2025 with trainings and workshops led by experts and consultants that have supported hundreds of UK companies to successfully adopt a four-day working week, with no loss in pay. 

 

Tech firms can book a Free 15-minute Consultation to learn more or discuss participation and join us at an event we're hosting online on Thursday 17 April: Tech Time: Work a Four-Day Week in the Tech Industry.

 

Whether you’re at the beginning of your journey and want to discover the benefits of moving to a shorter working week, or you’re preparing to launch a trial this year, the programme will support you with all of the information and resources you need.


Programme Outline

 

  • 22 May – Introduction and Making the Business Case for a Four-Day Week - Key Learnings from Previous Pilots (with Joe Ryle, Campaign Director of 4 Day Week Foundation)

Alongside the core programme, each participating organisation will benefit from research support to measure the impact of your trial with support from University of Cambridge, University of Sussex and Newcastle University. 

 

There will also be networking opportunities with organisations that have successfully implemented a four-day week, a check-in consultation and troubleshooting at the midpoint of the trial, and a dedicated point of contact available on demand throughout the duration of the programme to answer questions and discuss any additional support needs.
