Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Four-Day Working Week: Discussion
Ms Margaret Cox:
I might come in there. One of the concerns I have - this is an ask, if I am being clear about it - is that we should not confuse remote working with a four-day week. Remote working and the right to request it is really important, but working a four-day week, with an additional day off during the week, will be a game changer for employees, communities and society. It will give that one day back. I think that if we mix it with remote working, productivity gains will increase even more than has happened at our company. Let us not confuse remote working with a four-day week-----
