Ireland's four day working week trial a ''resounding success''

Ireland's first-ever trial of a four-day working week has been described as "a resounding success".

The twelve companies that tested the new schedule are now planning to continue it into the future.

All of the companies and organisations that took part in the six-month experiment reported a range of positive outcomes, including productivity and reduced energy usage.

Employees who took part reported reduced stress, burnout, and fatigue while being able to sleep more each night.
