Many Australian workers desire a four-day work week but are not willing to relinquish key benefits such as pay and work-from-home arrangements. A report by HiBob found reluctance among employees to make compromises; only 15% would accept a pay cut, and 22% would sacrifice holiday time for a shorter week. Gender disparities were noted, with women less likely to give up WFH perks compared to men, likely due to family responsibilities. HR perspectives suggest that a four-day work week can be integrated without removing existing benefits.
From an HR perspective, it's always difficult to actually remove something from employees.
Only 15 per cent of Aussies said they would take a pay cut to work four days a week.
I think companies can actually arrange it without taking something away.
The huge gender gap is likely due to women preferring to work from home to help them better manage their children or family responsibilities.
