Companies around the world have started trialing a four-day work week in a global movement to reduce office hours.
More than 90 per cent of companies who trialled the 32-hour work week as part of the Four Day Week Global movement, which was started by a New Zealand company in 2018, have implemented it permanently.
Scottish government workers have undertaken the four-day week, as well as 350 companies around the world, including Sydney marketing company House of Brands.
"For us it's really about getting more balance in our lives work-life balance," House of Brands chief executive Nick Palmer said.
"If you don't do it soon you will be left behind."
The marketing company has applied the 32-hour work week to 18 staff members, who have continued to keep up with their regular output.

"It's just made every weekend feel like a mini holiday because they feel so long now and you come back to work feeling so energised," House of Brands employee Megan Smith said.
The work-life balance of the four-day workweek has grabbed the attention of some huge companies, including independent charity Oxfam and multi-brand owner Unilever.
