The 4-day workweek may not be the answer to workplace productivity and flexibility, Davos panellists say.

This comes shortly after the results of a six-month trial on the subject were released. It found participating companies hadand well-being. The experiment, conducted by 4 Day Week Global, asked 33 companies with employees in six countries to decrease their workweeks to four days, or 32 hours, in 2022 to determine whether employees' productivity would remain the same while they worked 80% of the typical workweek.

"We have had a static, for many countries, five-day week for about a century," Grant said Thursday at his panel discussion called"The Four-Day Week.""It's time to start testing other models."Each of the panellists understood the global workforce's desire for flexibility. While a four-day workweek seems like an obvious answer, there are some key factors to consider before making the change, they agreed.

"If you really give people enough time to invest in themselves, the hours that they put into projects and work will become more productive," she said. While work-life balance is important, a universally shortened week doesn't make sense for many sectors of business, the panellists said. Instead, workplace flexibility needs to be aligned with the workers it will affect.
