Last week we had the opportunity to represent Sounds Like These at the House of Commons as part of the ’s event that brought together MPs, business leaders, trade unionists and researchers.
This was a pilot ‘Working Time Council’ meeting - a body that proposes to advise the government on a possible transition to a four-day working week in the UK.
Since becoming an official 4 Day Week employer in 2022, we have seen first-hand the amazing impact that reduced working hours (without a reduction in pay) can have on both our team members and our business more broadly.
In 2026 the 5-day work week will be a century old, so now seems like the perfect time for society to rethink the relationship we currently have with work. Initiatives like the Working Time Council are a small but positive step towards making a shorter work week a reality for all.
As the evidence for the positive social and economic impacts of a 4-day week grows, we are proud to be a UK creative company pushing for positive change.
