英国四天工作制试点结束后，92％的公司保留了这一制度

2022年，英国智库Autonomy发起了一项四天工作制试点计划，共有61家英国公司，约2900名工人参与其中。在2022年6月至12月期间，员工们每周工作4天，每周平均工作34小时，同时保持现有的工资。

试点计划结束后，这些公司是否选择继续实行四天工作制？员工们对这一模式的评价如何？Autonomy发布的研究报告给出了答案：

大多数参与公司表示他们将维持四天工作制

The pilot program has been hailed as a "resounding success" after employees reported improved well-being anda majority of the participating companies said they would keep the change.

Autonomy的四天工作制试点计划被视为“巨大的成功”，员工表示，幸福感提高了，大多数参与公司表示他们将维持四天工作制。

Employees at companies that adopted a four-day work week without pay cuts said they were happier and healthier, while revenues did notfall

实行四天工作制而不减薪的公司员工表示，他们更快乐、更健康，而收入并没有下降。

At the conclusion of the six-month trial, 56 of those companies, or 92%, decided to stick with a four-day work week, and 18 did so permanently.

在六个月的试验结束时，61家公司中的56家（92%）决定坚持每周四天工作制，其中18家决定永久实行这一政策。

研究发现，缩短工作时间可以提高员工幸福感

The companies that participated were from a wide range of sectors and sizes and were permitted to design a four-day week policy tailored to their own needs, with the onlyconditions being that pay was not cut and employees were given a "meaningful" reduction in work time.

参与研究的公司行业不同，规模不一，并可以根据自身需求设计每周工作四天的政策，唯一的要求是不减薪，并“实际”缩减员工工作时间。

A shorter work week was found to improve employees' well-being. Before and after data showed that 39% of employees reported feeling less stressed, 71% had reduced levels of burnout at the end of the trial. Surveyed employees said they also felt less anxious, less fatigued and were sleeping better.

研究发现，缩短工作时间可以提高员工幸福感。试点计划开展前后数据显示，39%的员工表示压力减轻，而71%的员工在试验结束时的倦怠程度有所降低。接受调查的员工表示，他们还感到不那么焦虑、疲劳，睡眠有所改善。

Employees also said their work-life balance improved, but the benefits were not limited to workers.

员工们还称，他们的工作与生活更加平衡，但四天工作制不仅仅给员工带来了好处。

Administrative data from the participating companies showed that revenues rose by 1.4% on average, weighted by company size, during the trial period.

参与试验的企业的管理数据显示，在试验期间，按公司规模加权，收入平均增长1.4%。

When compared to a similar period from previous years, organizations with shorter work week actually reportedrevenue increases of 35% on average—which the study authors said indicated healthy growth at the same time there was a reduction in work.

与往年同期相比，每周工作时间较短的企业，实际上报告的收入平均增长了35%——研究作者表示，这表明在员工工作时间缩短的同时，企业实现了健康增长。

四天工作制越来越受欢迎

罗致恒富人力资源的一项调查显示，93%的企业管理者支持每周四天工作制度，64%的管理者认为，他们所在的企业将在未来5年内实行四天工作制。

Data also showed employees were much less likely to leave the companies that participated in the trial program,with staff losses dropping by 57% in the six-month trial period.

数据还显示，员工从参与试验的公司离职的可能性要小得多，在六个月的试验期内，员工流失率下降了57%。

Some employees enjoyed the change so much they said keeping the extra day off each week would be more important than a raise. 15% of employees said that noamount of money would induce them to return to a five-day schedule.

一些员工非常喜欢这种变化，他们认为，每周多休息一天比加薪更重要。15%的员工表示，再多的钱也无法促使他们恢复到五天工作制。

Charlotte Lockhart, co-founder and managing director of 4 Day Week Global, said the results were encouraging and that results from similar pilot programs around the globe would be forthcoming.

非营利组织“全球四天工作制”联合创始人兼总经理夏洛特·洛克哈特表示，试验结果令人鼓舞，全球各地类似试点项目的结果也即将出炉。

“试行一周四天工作制”自2022年6月在英国开始试行。该项目由非盈利机构“全球四天工作制”、智库 Autonomy、英国四天工作制运动团与剑桥大学、牛津大学和波士顿学院的研究人员合作运营。

此前，冰岛也曾在2015年至2019年间开展过短工作周试点活动，共有2500名公共部门员工参与了两次大型试点活动。试点发现，参与者的劳动效率没有因为工作时间缩短而降低，而员工的幸福感却有显著提升。
