Confidence that the four-day working week is just as beneficial for businesses as it is for their workers.

Unilever New Zealand has run a voluntary trial for 18 months, with encouraging results.

The trial saw stress drop by 33 percent, feelings of strength and vigour at work increase by 15 percent and work/life conflict fall by 67 percent.

Managing director Cameron Heath told Mike Hosking the four-day week gives them a bit of skin in the game with their productivity.

He says it creates more value for the business, and creates a reward by thinking creatively to remove things that don't bring value to anyone.
