Marks & Spencer will start offering flexible working hours—including a four-day week—to its store managers. Just days after the launch of its own clothing rental collection, the supermarket chain is making headlines again, this time for flexible working hours. Starting in the new year, all Marks & Spencer store managers will be able to choose the working option that best suits their lives, with options like a four-day week, or a nine-day compressed fortnight. The idea of flexible working hours is getting lots of attention in the U.K. right now, and the British government even considered making a four-day week the new legal norm for companies. YPulse’s WE What’s Next For Work Report shows that young Europeans are increasingly considering flexible working, with 93% of young Europeans think having a job that gives them a good work / life balance is important.
