It's now been over a year since the world’s biggest four-day working week trial concluded in the UK.

To get an up-to-date picture, we surveyed almost 11,900 professionals and employers to see whether uptake of the four-day working week has increased, how it’s impacting talent attraction, and the challenges of implementing it.
