10:13Now PlayingDid you know working less means working better?! Have you ever worked in a four-day workweek environment? A trial of the four-day workweek in British firms resulted in 56 out of 61 participating companies adopting the practice wholesale. The study’s results were recently published by academics from the University of Cambridge and Boston College in partnership with the private organization Autonomy, and the advocacy group 4 Day Week Global.
According to Business Insider“The researchers found that fewer workers quit or took sick days during this period versus the same time the year before. And of the 23 companies that shared sales numbers, on average these businesses saw a 35% jump in revenues compared to the same period in 2021. It is not totally clear if these results are directly impacted by a change to the fourday week, however. Companies were free to implement the policy in various ways so long as the average working week was around 32 hours long and pay was kept the same. The most popular option was simply giving staff the Friday off, taken by almost onethird of participants.”
