A UK bank has moved to a four-day work week -- without cutting pay.
London A British bank has adopted a four-day work week for all its employees without cutting pay, saying it's the largest UK company so far to make such a move.
Atom Bank announced on Tuesday that it had also reduced the weekly hours of its 430 staff to 34 from 37.5 and expected most workers to take either Monday or Friday off. The change is voluntary and would mean staff working slightly longer days. The policy, which took effect on November 1, was introduced to support Atom's employees'"mental and physical well-being," and improve productivity, the company said. The majority of its workers have switched to the new work week.
