Working reduced hours improves workers' productivity and overall wellbeing, Concludes a new study in Iceland.

According to the Independent, "the world's largest ever trial" with a shorter working week resulted in better health and work-life balance for a range of government employees, from office workers to hospital staff. Over 2,500 people worked 35 to 36 hours per week between 2015 and 2019 while their pay stayed the same. More organisations are exploring the concept, albeit in different forms, with Spanish telecoms firm Telefónica giving employees the option to work four days a week if they take a 15% pay cut.
