How the Four-Day Workweek Survived the Hype Cycle

from Future of Work Tech with Fexingo: Remote Tools, AI Productivity, and Workplace Software · host Fexingo

Episode 48 of Future of Work Tech with Fexingo takes a hard look at the four-day workweek after the hype. Lucas and Luna drill into a specific case: the UK's 2022 pilot of 61 companies, and what happened to those companies two years later. They discuss the 61 percent who kept the policy, the 12 percent who reverted, and the surprising reason a few reverted mid-pilot. The hosts also talk about Buffer's transparent salary data, the 'compressed schedule' trap, and why productivity gains often fade after six months. The episode closes with a practical question: can a four-day week work in a 24/7 support environment? This is a grounded conversation for anyone who has read the headlines and wants the real numbers and trade-offs — not the TED Talk version. #FourDayWorkweek #RemoteWork #WorkplaceProductivity #FutureOfWork #Buffer #UKPilot #CompressedSchedule #EmployeeWellbeing #Burnout #FlexibleWork #WorkLifeBalance #HRTech #CompanyCulture #BusinessExperiments #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #FutureOfWorkTech #Technology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
