Unilever Australia & New Zealand (ANZ) - maker of Kiwi household staples, Dove, Rexona, Surf, Persil, TRESemmé, Continental and Streets - has today announced it is continuing its 4 Day Work Week experiment in New Zealand and is extending the trial to Australia.

The expansion comes off the back of promising results from Unilever’s 18-month pilot in New Zealand, which saw all 80 employees participate in the trial. As part of the initiative, staff retain 100 per cent of salaries, while working 80 per cent of the time, while still committing to 100 per cent delivery for the business (100:80:100).
