If you're wondering what the impact of a four day working week might be on productivity (the critics claim it will have no, or a negative impact), Iceland's ongoing experiment suggests, that consultation on, and then the reorganisation of, the working week into four days has led to a major uplift in productivity.
Even allowing for the fact that Iceland's economy is not a direct parallel to the UK, this report should encourage us to shift to a four day work week!
