Consumer goods giant Unilever Plc is expanding its trial of a four-day working week to Australian employees after a successful 18-month pilot in New Zealand.
The Australian trial will begin on Nov. 14 and initially run for 12 months, Unilever said in a statement Wednesday in Sydney. The New Zealand experiment will also continue, it said.
