"Most of us look forward to a rare long weekend. But some Australians now enjoy
a four-day week every week.
They’re lucky enough to work for the small number of organisations that are
trialling or have permanently adopted what is known as the 100:80:100 model, in
which employees keep 100% of what they were paid for five days while working
80% of their former hours – so long as they maintain 100% productivity.
This model has been attracting significant global attention. There have been
glowing reports in the past few years about the success of trials in Iceland,
the United Kingdom and elsewhere. Some of this reporting, however, has
exaggerated the findings or failed to consider the complicating factors that
may not make the model scalable.
To get a better sense of the reality, we’ve surveyed ten Australian
organisations that have embraced the model.
We interviewed senior managers in each organisation about the benefits and
challenges experienced. So our results do reflect a management perspective. But
what they told us suggests the four-day work week can successfully deliver
positive outcomes for both employers and employees across a range of different
industries."
