New evidence on the 4-day workweek

A new study from the largest 4-day workweek pilot to date revealed (unsurprisingly) major benefits for both employers and employees. Across 61 UK-based companies, 3,000 employees took part in the pilot. The results were (to quote the study) “resoundingly positive.”

• 92% of companies who piloted the 4-day workweek decided to keep it long-term
• Burnout down by 71%
• Sick days down by 65%
• No loss in revenue

Momentum is building.

• The 4-day workweek is increasingly gaining press in top tier publications like The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, the BBC, the Washington Post, and others.
• In Maryland, a new, proposed bill would subsidize employers that try a 4-day workweek.

While the benefits of a 4-day workweek are increasingly well-documented, the real challenge is how to actually roll-out a 4-day workweek pilot and implement it. This is where Smart Workweek comes in.
