TFoxcil to trial four-day working week
rade supplier Foxcil is trialling a four-day working week for employees in a move
overwhelmingly welcomed by staff. The proposal Foxcil put to
staff was that an employee retains the current salary but works one extra hour a day for four days, and then has one extra day off a week. The net effect of this is that it costs the company four hours per employee.
Carl Butchard, general manager at Foxcil says, “We
are hoping that this lost time will be made up with a mix of increased productivity – one less start up and wash down per day – a reduced use and dependence on sick leave, and an overall lift in staff wellbeing.”
Different staff will have
a different fixed day off, spreading the load across all the staff across the week, so as not to impact on Foxcil’s overall service to its customers.
Price per book for Black S/S print. All prices plus GST and freight.

Four day working week at Foxcil: managing director Roger Kirwan (centre with fox) and staff
Butchard says, “At Foxcil,
we want to be a market leader in all aspects of what we do. A key measure for us is how we treat our staff, and what we can do to move from being a great employer to a market leading employer of choice.
“We believe that there will be significant mental health
benefits for our employees,
and that the four-day move
will go a long way to provide
an improved work-life balance. We also believe that offering a four-day week option will make us a preferred employer for both retaining and recruiting staff.”
Roger Kirwan, managing director of Foxcil (and ex-Kiwi),
says he has been watching with interest positive examples
in New Zealand. Perpetual Guardian, a financial services company based in Auckland, trialled a four-day work
week that was monitored by academics who found that productivity increased by 20 per cent. 21
