How Does A Four Day Workweek Sound? It’s Already Happening Around The World

from How Men Think · host iHeartPodcasts

On this 100th anniversary of the 5 day work week, let’s celebrate by making it 4! On May 1st, 1926, Henry Ford officially ended the standard 6 day work week and made it 5, believing it would actually increase productivity. It proved to be true, but now many countries have already taken that a step further, piloting successful programs that are encouraging more companies to adopt a new official workweek.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
