Is a four-day working week the future?
We hear from companies and employees who've been trialling the idea.
Would you like to work fewer days, but get paid the same? The biggest global trial of the four day week has just come to an end in the UK.
We hear from some of the companies who took part, including employees making the most of their extra day off, and employers looking closely at productivity figures.
It’s an idea that other countries are looking at closely, so we’ll be looking at the global implications of moving away from the traditional five days on, two days off model.
