Rowntree introduced several reforms at his factory including an eight-hour workday in 1896, a pension scheme in 1906, and supported a five-day work week and work councils in 1919. His research, including three poverty studies of York in 1899, 1935, and 1951, helped create public opinion around the need for labor welfare and improved industrial relations. Rowntree argued business owners should adopt more democratic practices involving both management and workers.
