It required a big shift in mindset, starting with senior leaders, Griffis says."Going into projects knowing we have four days instead of five, you get used to it."
According to employee surveys, 73% of workers say they're indeed working on a shortened schedule, whether that's a four-day week or five shorter days. The remaining 27% of employees say they're working an average of four-and-a-half days, with a few hours on a fifth day to catch up on quick tasks or emails.Another big challenge was figuring out which day to take off. At first, Buffer gave each team their own choice.
With this in mind, the company hired additional customer staff during the pandemic in order to maintain coverage but still provide individuals a shortened week.According to Buffer's 2021 survey, 84% of employees were able to get the work required of them completed in the new four-day week. Now, they have to be more intentional and create space for team engagement, Griffis says, like by planning virtual social events so employees can connect beyond work meetings.

Sounds like a nice way to do business. I especially like that they publish everyone’s salaries. Employees should know where they stand among their peers.
This should be a mandate in US.
