Four-Day Workweek
The Four-Day Workweek is a work schedule that reduces the traditional five-day workweek to four days, typically maintaining the same number of hours per week. This model aims to improve work-life balance, increase productivity, and enhance employee well-being. Companies adopting this approach often report higher job satisfaction and lower burnout rates among employees.
Various organizations and countries have experimented with the four-day workweek, including trials in Iceland and New Zealand. Advocates argue that this model can lead to more efficient work processes and better employee retention, while critics raise concerns about potential workload increases and impacts on business operations.
