What\u2019s more, 56 of the companies will continue with a 4-day workweek. Even more notable is that 18 companies will make this a permanent arrangement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ng-star-inserted\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<h3 class=\"c-article__title ng-star-inserted\">Extra time off does wonders<\/h3>\n<p class=\"c-article__text ng-star-inserted\">In a more recent study published in the <a class=\"link--external\" href=\"https:\/\/ijbnpa.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s12966-023-01416-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u2018International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity\u2019<\/a>, researchers at the University of South Australia (UniSA) found that taking a long weekend break can significantly benefit health. Empirical research revealed that people exhibited more active and healthier behaviour. The team used data from the Annual Rhythms in Adults\u2019 Lifestyle and Health study where 308 adults (mean age 40.4 years) wore fitness trackers 24\/7 over a 13-month period.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article__text ng-star-inserted\">During this time, participants took on average two to three holidays of about 12 days each. While on holiday, they took part in 13 % more moderate-to-vigorous physical activity daily, were 5 % less sedentary each day and slept 4 % more every day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article__text ng-star-inserted\">\u201cWhen people go on holiday, they\u2019re changing their everyday responsibilities because they\u2019re not locked down to their normal schedule,\u201d lead author Dr Ty Ferguson commented in a UniSA <a class=\"link--external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unisa.edu.au\/media-centre\/Releases\/2023\/time-out-we-all-need-a-three-day-weekend\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">news release<\/a>. \u201cIn this study, we found that movement patterns changed for the better when on holiday, with increased physical activity and decreased sedentary behaviour observed across the board.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article__text ng-star-inserted\">Dr Ferguson elaborated on the health benefits: \u201cWe also found that people gained an extra 21 minutes of sleep each day they were on holiday, which can have a range of positive effects on our physical and mental health. For example, getting enough sleep can help improve our mood, cognitive function, and productivity. It can also help lower our risk of developing a range of health conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and depression. Interestingly, the size of these changes increased in line with the length of the holiday \u2013 so the longer the holiday, the better the health benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ng-star-inserted\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<table style=\"width: 99.9988%; border-collapse: collapse; border-style: double; border-color: #001f7d;\" cellpadding=\"0,5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/el-consejo-adopta-nuevas-normas-sobre-transparencia-salarial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/silver-and-gold-coins-128867-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"201\" height=\"134\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/en\/council-adopts-new-rules-on-pay-transparency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Council adopts new rules on pay transparency<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3 class=\"c-article__title ng-star-inserted\">Long live the 4-day workweek<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ng-star-inserted\">\n<p class=\"c-article__text ng-star-inserted\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Senior study author Prof. Carol Maher is all for the 4-day workweek\u2019s growing movement: \u201cA shorter working week is being trialled by companies all over the world.
