4 Day Week

In November 2024, Easy Read Online joined the 4 day week campaign’s national pilot. After a successful 12-month trial, we’ve decided to make the 4 day week a permanent part of how we work from October 2025.

What we found from our year-long trial is that we can maintain productivity and turnaround times for clients, while boosting staff wellbeing.

The 4 day week has been shown to be a positive move for business in several ways, including retention of staff, reduction of sickness days, and an increase in innovation.

The concept of a 4 day week is that employees work for 80% of their contracted time, while continuing to be 100% as productive and keeping 100% of their pay.

One of our staff members said: “The move to the 4 day week has meant I have more time to see family and develop my other interests. This has improved my mental health and wellbeing. I start the new working week fully refreshed and focused.”

Before the trial, we collectively thought about how we could make this change at Easy Read Online while maintaining the full and consistent service that our clients are used to. We continue to innovate and develop our processes to become more efficient and productive.

We have found that a more well-rested and happy workforce works to create even higher standards of Easy Read content for our clients!

For our clients, the high-quality and speedy service they are used to will continue.
