Are 4-day work weeks the way forward?

from The Lab DoctoRs Hosted by The Lab DoctoRs

Do you ever feel like the weekend is too short? Would you take a pay cut to work one less day? This week we look at the largest, coordinated 4 day work week trial to date, involving 2,900 employees from various industries. Listen along as we go through the types of 4 day work weeks as well as how this model impacted employee wellbeing and company revenue. TLDR: Moving to a 4 day work week with no loss of pay led to improvements in employee wellbeing and work-life balance and no compromise in company productivity targets.
