"The 2023 report from nonprofit advocacy group 4 Day Week Global found that the longer people worked a four-day week, the shorter their work weeks became without output or productivity taking a hit."
"After just six months of working a four-day week, burnout, general health, and job satisfaction improved, confirming that workers could get as much done working more effectively."
"The pilot study in Britain showed a 65% reduction in the number of sick days and a 57% decline in the likelihood that an employee would quit, dramatically improving job retention."
"Workers could cut their average work time by about four hours, to 34 hours a week, as they eliminated inefficiencies that a more lengthy workweek allowed."
Research indicates that a four-day workweek allows workers to maintain productivity while reducing their hours. A report from 4 Day Week Global found that after 18 months, employees could effectively work 34 hours instead of 38. The study showed a significant reduction in sick days, improved job satisfaction, and lower employee turnover. Workers eliminated inefficiencies, such as unnecessary meetings, allowing for more focused work. The findings suggest that a shorter workweek can lead to better health and job retention without sacrificing output.
