A recent study revealed an increase in the percentage of US employers offering four-day work weeks, rising from 14% in 2022 to 22% in the following year. Joe Ryle of the 4 Day Week Foundation contends that the conventional five-day work week is outdated and calls for more flexible working arrangements. Advocates argue that a four-day work week, maintained without a reduction in pay, benefits both employees and employers, offering increased free time for a more fulfilling life without sacrificing productivity.
We are long overdue an update. As hundreds of British companies and one local council have already shown, a four-day week with no loss of pay can be a win-win for both workers and employers. With 50% more free time, a four-day week gives people the freedom to live happier, more fulfilling lives.
Initially, the five-day, 40-hour schedule was seen as a balance between productivity and leisure. However, over time, many have criticized it, calling for more flexibility and better work-life balance.
