Younger managers are a lot more interested in the four-day working week than the older leaders they are on track to replace

Nearly half of those without a shorter week say they are more likely to consider the concept than they were before the pandemic, but almost 30 per cent say they would never consider it.These findings chime with those from another survey of UK managers from mostly larger businesses that the Chartered Management Institute commissioned this month.

Yet I suspect it will not be long before the four-day week begins to canter rather than creep. Why? Because younger managers are a lot more interested in the idea than the older leaders they are on track to replace. It has certainly worked well for Rachel Garrett, the 40-year-old managing director of CMG Technologies, a highly specialised metal injection moulding business in Suffolk. The company moved its 30-odd staff to a four-day week in 2015, with no cut in pay, in the hope it would keep them contented.
