Almost half of Irish employers believe four day week is ‘feasible’ in their workplace

77% support Government exploring introduction of a four-day working week

A four-day working week was described as “same job, same goals, same salary but over four days rather than five.”

A majority of the public (75%) believe a four-day week would be desirable for employees, and almost half of employers (46%) believe a four-day week trial would be feasible in their workplace according to a new survey.

Research conducted by Behaviour & Attitudes (B&A) last month on behalf of Fórsa/FourDayWeek Ireland showed that two out of three respondents believe a four-day week is “realistic and achievable.”
