"Last June, in a UK pilot project, thousands of employees started working a
four-day week for the same pay.
With 3,300 workers at 70 companies, ranging from a car parts retailer to an
animation studio, marketing agency, and fish-and-chips shop, it was the biggest
experiment of its sort ever. Four months later, the results are coming in.
And — drumroll, please — people on a four-day-a-week schedule work just as well
as those on a traditional schedule.
In fact, 95% of companies surveyed by 4 Day Week Global say their productivity
levels have either stayed the same or improved. Indeed, 46% say business
productivity has "maintained around the same level," 34% report it has
"improved slightly," and 15% say it has 'improved significantly.'
Of these companies, 86% are considering making the switch for good."
Via Steven Vaughan-Nichols, who wrote "The studies are in, and 32, not 40,
hours a week are all your workers need to get their work done."
