Morrisons has shaken up its flexible working policy at its Bradford head office.<\/p>\n

The supermarket introduced a four-day work week for staff four years ago with the catch that they were required to work 13 Saturdays a year.<\/p>\n

However, under the new changes coming into force next month, staff will have their 37.5 contracted hours spread over a four-and-a-half-day week instead, The Grocer reported.<\/p>\n\n

It is understood that the Saturday work day had not been popular among the 2,000 staff based at its West Yorkshire head office.<\/p>\n

In the last year, fellow supermarkets and other retailers have joined Morrisons in introducing a shorter work-week for its staff.<\/p>\n

Rival Asda revealed last week that it was trialing the four day week to improve retention among store managers.<\/p>\n

Sainsbury\u2019s and M&S also introduced flexible working policies that allowed staff to work compressed weeks last year.<\/p>\n
