Spain to Test Four-Day Working Week

The Spanish government has accepted a plan from the left-wing Más País party to test a four-day working week with companies that are interested in the idea. Although the details have not yet been agreed on, the party has proposed a three-year, $60 million project that would help companies’ trial a shorter working week. Héctor Tejero of Más País told The Guardian that the project could include about 200 companies, for a total of between 3,000 to 6,000 workers. Tejero said that his party wants people to work fewer hours without their pay decreasing. The party is hoping that the project will have similar results to Spanish company Software Delsol, which started using a four-day work week in 2020. Tejero said the change led to fewer absences, increased productivity and happier workers. Around the world, other experiments with fewer working hours have also had positive results.

Microsoft Japan trialled closing its offices on Fridays in August 2019 and found that sales per employee went up 40% compared to August 2018. The company also found that it spent less money on things like heating and electricity. Similarly, when a city in Sweden tested six-hour working days in 2015, it found that absences went down, productivity went up and worker health improved. Working fewer days could also be good for the environment: a 2019 study from Henley Business School found that a four-day week in the UK could result in workers driving an average of almost 900 million fewer kilometers each week.
