Beginning in February, organisations in the Caribbean nation can choose whether to implement a six-month-long trial of a four-day work week. The standard week will drop to 36 hours from 44 hours, typically running from Monday through to Thursday. Employees will continue to earn the same salaries.
In a four-day work week, the workload typically remains the same. But companies, managers and their teams are forced to prioritize even more than they otherwise have to, cutting out, perhaps, some meetings. But there's something else too that a four-day week model must emphasize, according to the Dominican Republic's Labour Minister Luis Miguel de Camps. It prioritizes people, improving health and wellbeing, and promoting a sustainable and environmentally friendly productivity, said de Camps.
