Breadcrumb

Namibia will be experimenting with a six-month trial period exploring a four-day work week as of the 1st of next month. 

The nbc's The Wheels of Justice show unpacked the concept of a four-day workweek and the legal reforms that would be required to implement it in terms of employer-employee relationships. 

Conversations around the four-day workweek were first sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic, with workers and employers rethinking the importance of workplace flexibility and the benefits thereof, led by the UK.
