"Workplaces which have dared to implement the four-day workweek policy are few
and far between, but Scotland’s government is reportedly ready to take the
plunge—and wants the private sector to join it.
Last year Britain completed the biggest trial yet of the four-day a week
experiment, revealing fresh breakthroughs in productivity and flexibility in
the workplace.

Now, Scotland is hoping to see similar outcomes when it pilots the scheme for
some of its civil servants, the
Times reported Sunday.
The move, set to be unveiled by First Minister Humza Yousaf, will impact a
range of departments and will reportedly run for about 12 months, the outlet
said—without citing sources.
Yousaf, who is the leader of the Scottish National Party, is expected to share
more details on his plan on Tuesday with a start date reportedly pencilled in
for the end of this year.
Advisers are hoping a success in the four-day workweek program for the public
sector could spur the private sector to adopt the practice, the
Times
reported, in a bid to improve productivity and promote work-life balance."
