A four-day work week trial run by Unilever over the past 18 months has been a huge success, and is now being expanded to Australia.

The company's 80-strong New Zealand workforce were allowed to spend 20 percent less time at work while retaining full wages.

As a result the company saw a growth in revenue, absenteeism dropping by 34 percent, and stress dropping by a third.

Unilever New Zealand managing director Cameron Heath who says it's been a hit.
