The Manufacturing Technology Centre in Coventry will permanently implement flexible working – including a four-day week – following a large-scale, two-year trial which saw more than half of employees report higher productivity. The MTC’s 820 employees can now opt for a four-day week under the centre’s fully flexible working week initiative.

“We’ve been operating flexible working patterns since April 2018, but employee engagement surveys have shown that staff wanted to extend this further,” says Vicki Sanderson, HR director at the MTC. “We explored a range of options, including researching what was important for millennials and generation Z, as 79% of our workforce fall into these categories. Work-life balance was the priority.”
