When it comes to how many days you work, is it a case of less is more? Companies participating in a 4-day workweek experiment say they see no loss of productivity

But, for the past eight weeks, thousands of people in the United Kingdom have tested a four-day schedule — with no cut to their pay — that could help usher in a new era of work. It’s the world’s biggest trial of a four-day work week so far. Already, some workers have said they feel happier, healthier and are doing better in their jobs.

‘Like a library’ Until last month, Iceland had conducted the world’s biggest pilot of a four-day work week. Between 2015 and 2019, the country put 2,500 of its public sector workers through two trials. Crucially, those trials found no corresponding drop in productivity — and a dramatic increase in employee well-being. Gary Conroy, founder and CEO of 5 Squirrels, a skincare product manufacturer on England’s south coast, has brought in “deep work time” to ensure his employees remain productive.

Who can afford to work only 4 days a week these days 🤔

Yeah no shit. People with office jobs will stretch shit out because they are forced to be there for 5 days, 40 hours a week, they’re tired, they have to sit in traffic, and they get two days before they have to do it again

AI is gonna rule!

I'm willing to bet they'll end up with more productivity in the long run, less turnover and more employee satisfaction. Being well rested is highly underrated.
