How a best place to work works

Award-winning workplace, recognised by a work-life / best-place-to-work award

  • A standard 5-day week, but recognised by a credible work-life / best-place-to-work award
  • Verified on the awarding body’s official list (Great Place to Work, Glassdoor, Built In, and others)
  • Always paired with at least one flexibility or work-life benefit (remote, flexible PTO, etc.)
  • For people who want a proven culture, not just a formally shorter week
Best for: people who prize a proven, award-winning culture and flexibility over a formally shorter week.

How we rank these companies

These companies are ordered by their work-life score— a 0–100 rating we calculate from each employer’s published policies, averaging 58 across the 165 companies on this page.

  • Contracted hours carry the most weight — the fewer hours a full-time week actually is, the higher the score. A 40-hour week earns nothing here.
  • Remote and schedule flexibility comes next: whether the role is genuinely remote, how much say you have over your hours, and whether core hours are fixed.
  • Paid leave is scored above a 15-day baseline, so a statutory minimum adds nothing and a genuinely generous allowance does.
  • The schedule itself can add or subtract. A genuine reduced-day week scores positively; a full-week perk such as unlimited PTO scores negatively, because it is not a reduction in hours.

Every company starts from the same baseline and is scored on the policies recorded in its profile, so a company that publishes more detail is scored more precisely. The same score appears on that company’s own page. Read the full scoring rubric →

How we curate this list

We track companies that publicly offer reduced-hours schedules — 4-day weeks, 9-day fortnights, half-day Fridays, and more. This page refreshes daily; companies that drop the policy are removed. Read about our editorial standards →

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about 4-day week jobs

We list 165 companies that have publicly committed to a best place to work arrangement with full pay. The defining feature of every company on this page is that hours are reduced relative to a standard 5-day week without a corresponding pay cut. Prominent employers include Accso, Acquia, and Acturis. Browse the list above for company profiles and current open positions.
The specifics vary by company, but every best place to work implementation on this page preserves full pay. Some employers fix the non-working day, others rotate it; some define the schedule week-by-week, others operate on a longer cycle. The common threads are full salary, consistent workload expectations, and public commitment to the policy. Each company profile shows the exact version they operate.
Technology, consulting, and professional services dominate adoption of the best place to work pattern. Engineering-heavy and knowledge-work roles are most compatible with the compressed workload expectations, though an increasing number of design, marketing, and product-focused organisations appear in the listings. Click through to individual company pages for industry-specific context on how the schedule operates in practice.
Companies offering a best place to work typically provide around 28 days of annual leave on top of the reduced-hours schedule — vacation days are separate from the weekly day off. Some employers combine the reduced schedule with unlimited or generous PTO policies; others stick to standard allowances because the weekly cadence already reduces burnout. Individual company profiles detail the exact PTO policy.
No — companies on 4dayweek.io commit to maintaining full pay under the best place to work arrangement. This is a hard criterion for inclusion. Pilot studies from the UK 4 Day Week Campaign and individual company reports consistently show productivity held flat or improved under full-pay reduced schedules. Part-time and explicitly pro-rata arrangements are labelled separately and don't appear on standard schedule-type pages.
