“A four-day workweek is not just a change in scheduling; it’s a fundamental shift in how we view work, productivity, and success in a capitalist system. It means adopting a culture and mindset that values time and well-being over sheer profit maximization.” shares B Lab Europe in their article ‘Transforming Company Culture and Capitalism – B Lab Europe’s Four-Day Workweek Trial’. In January this year we gave our staff the option to work a four-day week. The main reason for this is to improve work-life balance, and we can already start to see some benefits. 😊 Learn all about this decision and process in Clara de Bienassis’, Stone Soup partner and People and Well-being Director article ‘Four-day week in progress at Stone Soup”. 👇🏼 https://lnkd.in/dwDVXKbP Read B Lab’s article here 👇🏼 https://lnkd.in/eh8e5g44

Germany launches a six-month trial of a 4-day workweek starting February 1, 2024, involving 45 companies. The initiative aims to enhance employee well-being, boost productivity, and address economic challenges. Working four days a week can significantly contribute to achieving a healthier work-life balance. By condensing the traditional five-day workweek into four days, employees gain an extra day for personal pursuits, family time, and relaxation. This arrangement allows individuals to recharge, pursue hobbies, spend quality time with loved ones, and address personal responsibilities without sacrificing productivity at work. Moreover, having an additional day off can lead to increased job satisfaction, reduced stress levels, and improved overall well-being. Companies that implement a four-day workweek often find that it boosts employee morale, enhances retention rates, and fosters a more positive organizational culture. Ultimately, prioritizing work-life balance through a shortened workweek can lead to happier, more fulfilled employees who are better equipped to excel both personally and professionally. #worklifebalance
