4-day work week experiment is a success

MIAMI – A six-month experiment in the United States has just wrapped up, and organizers say it looks like a four-day work week may actually be better for business.

In fact, organizers say the trial was an overwhelming success.

The requirements were no reduction in pay with a meaningful reduction in work time.  

None of the 27 companies that took part in the experiment survey said they were planning to go back to the five-day work week.

Workers reported lower levels of stress and burnout.

On top of that, company revenue was higher compared to the year prior.
