It turns out the key to getting more done might be working less. That's what results from a pilot program billed as the Over 60 U.K.-based companies participated in the pilot led by 4 Day Week Global, a nonprofit advocating for a four-day instead of a five-day workweek, in addition to flexibility around where, when and how people work.
Ninety-two percent of participating companies will continue to implement a four-day workweek following the trial, and over 90% of workers said they"definitely" wanted to continue their four-day workweeks. For some workers, the end of the test period marked a point of no return: 15% said they wouldn't accept a five-day schedule again, no matter how high the salary.
"There are always a few people who aren't comfortable changing the ways they work and for one reason or another, they still want to work those longer hours," Lockhart said.
Used to do a 3-12hrs schedule while attending college. Loved it.
So they will pay for 4 days and save money . Heck they might just make them part time and cut their benefits too
