Yang: Pandemic highlights importance of implementing 4-day workweek - Business Insider

proposed the policy as part of an economic recovery effort from the coronavirus pandemic.

"The world has now said, 'Actually, we have this great experiment called COVID-19,'" he added. "We're questioning how the world will work and shape going forward. Your biggest risk now is not getting ahead, because to get ahead of the curve, you got to introduce something like this." Yuen has had a four-day workweek policy at the company since 2016. Aside from the productivity benefits of the policy, Yuen told Business Insider that working from home has blurred the line on work-life balance and that implementing a four-day workweek could go a ways to restoring that.

"The first approach was like taking Fridays off, which I think is the natural way of thinking, like, 'Oh, we have a Friday off and have a long weekend every weekend," he said. "Well, we learned really quickly that that was not super ideal for productivity, like a three-day weekend is just really a long time away from work, which made Monday feel a lot harder to get back into rhythm.

"I think [shortened workweek] absolutely has impacts if you're in an industry that is hourly and you get paid per hour, and then all of a sudden, you've just lost eight hours of pay that you normally would get," Yuen said. "I can see that those types of industries having a struggle implementing a four-day workweek. I think we have to go case-by-case, company-by-company, and industry-by-industry to determine if this type of work fits.

Liberals across the nation are enjoying 0 day work weeks.

It must be 4-day evey other week and half of the staff at a time, in order to work in the long term.

Yes to this.. Sign me up

Lazy ppl work 4.days a week clever and hard working ppl work 18/7

I totally agree!

Spot on. But unfortunately, this is a system that doesnt care for the well being of workers and sees them as little more than pawns in the profits game.

They're already on a 0 day work week.

I’m all for a 4 day week.

He's right.
