Kent-based businesses move to a four-day working week
Three local businesses have made the change
New figures show more than 50 organisations employing over 1,400 workers moved to a four-day working week in 2025 with no loss of pay.
The 4 Day Week Foundation said the total number of workers now on a four-day week is more than 6,000 at 253 accredited employers including three in Kent.
Reflect digital, Charity Bank and Native Ecology are all benefitting from the shorter working week.
Joe Ryle, campaign director for the foundation, said the latest figures show that UK employers no longer have any practical barriers to making the shift.
"These companies are proving that there is nothing stopping organisations in the UK from moving to a four-day week," he said.
"Across virtually every sector and region, employers are showing that shorter working weeks boost productivity, improve wellbeing and help attract and retain talent - all without cutting pay.
"The question is no longer whether it works, but how quickly others will follow."
