Interesting findings from Adam Coutts project about the usefulness of Active Labour Market Policies (ALMPs) (such as the Group Work scheme piloted 2017-18) in improving wellbeing and helping people find work.

Sign the petition for a 4-day work week. There's so much support for this idea out there. Pressuring governments and businesses to take the policy seriously is the next step.

Excellent painstaking research by one of my PhD students. Great findings, need to be taken seriously.

Very pleased that mine and Vili Lehdonvirta Oxford Internet Institute's qualitative article 'Antagonism beyond employment: how the ‘subordinated agency’ of labour platforms generates conflict in the remote gig economy' has been published in SASE's Socio-Economic Review. academic.oup.com/ser/advance-ar…

Just finished up a meeting with researchers from Cambridge University who are carrying out a study of a #4DayWeek and its impact on business in the UK. Honoured to be asked to take part - looking forward to seeing the results! BrendanBurchell @_davidfrayne Employment Dosage
