Leeds City Council has decided against introducing the option of a four-day week for staff, despite “briefly” looking at the idea.
The authority’s head of HR Andy Dodman, confirmed the idea was not being “actively pursued”. The concept is being trialled at councils in South Cambridgeshire and Wales, as well as at organisations in other industries. In South Cambridgeshire’s case, the authority defied a government order to stop the pilot, with the leader saying it’s saved cash and made recruitment easier.
Mr Dodman said: “We have briefly looked at this we’re not actively pursuing a four-day week here in Leeds. “However, colleagues will know that during the Covid period and thereafter, we did introduce fairly robust hybrid working principles, which have built in flexibility in the workplace.” Mr Dodman said the move allowed staff to work in a different way while still getting their jobs done.
