Imagine working a four-day workweek. Feels like a dream, right? Well, it's time to wake up because this is a concept that is currently becoming a reality. 💭 A recent trial, which ran from June to December 2022, was the world’s biggest four-day workweek experiment to date and involved nearly 3,000 workers at 61 companies. Here’s how it worked: Employees worked 32 hours over the course of four days, but didn't get less done, they were just more efficient. Employees get 100% of their pay for working 80% of the time if they accomplish 100% of their usual tasks. The results of this trial? Companies reported that the shorter workweek improved productivity, morale and team culture. Employees reported that it improved their health, finances and relationships. 92% of companies involved in the study said they planned to continue the four-day workweek. ❓ What are your thoughts on the 4-day workweek structure? Do you think this innovative structure would fit within the culture of your organization? Do you think there is varying value to this structure based on one's position within the organization?
