How is Tyler Grange faring in its four-day week?

Abstract

Tyler Grange speaks to us about how the company is getting on in its 'four-day work week' trial. Tyler Grange introduced a four-day work week at the beginning of June, allowing its staff to work Monday to Thursday without a reduction in pay. When asked about the biggest change this transition introduced two weeks into its new work week, director Jonathan Berry says: "The biggest change has definitely been having to alter established working practices and our daily operations"We've had to analyse how we currently work and see where we are spending too much time on tasks. Through the use of new systems and technology we've basically created a much more productive way of working. Within three to six months Jonathan Berry predicts "a healthier, more productive and a happier business on the evidence that has been gathered from around the world by the four-day week global campaign and people like Autonomy UK, Oxford and Cambridge, and Boston UniversityAll that evidence is showing that it results in positive things for teams and we're seeing that already even after two weeks. " In addition to this trial, Tyler Grange is also working on a new project, Meon Vale, where it will be creating a 'vibrant, self-contained and sustainable' mixed-use development. Large projects such as these will be the test of how effective a four-day working week can be, but Tyler Grange is setting itself up for success.
