"A four-day working week is long overdue and this book provides a crucial roadmap. One day, we will look back in horror at the fact we worked until we dropped." - Owen Jones, Journalist

What if there was a simple idea that could transform the lives of workers, employers, the economy, our society, and our environment?

More and more employers are switching to a four-day week, leaving workers happier and economies healthier.

In the UK we work some of the longest hours in Europe, staggering home on a Friday evening stressed out and tired out.  

Written by the director of the UK's 4 Day Week campaign, this handbook shows how all that can change for the better.

Using real-life case studies, it shows the positive impact of everyone working one day less a week for the same pay:

  • Learn the practical steps necessary to change employment contracts and working conditions. 
  • Discover how to have happier staff who are more loyal and have fewer sick days.
  • Start finding out how a four-day week can transform your organisation.
