shorter workweeks
Shorter workweeks refer to a work schedule that reduces the traditional five-day workweek to fewer days, often four, while maintaining the same number of hours or productivity. This approach aims to improve work-life balance, increase employee satisfaction, and enhance overall productivity. Companies may implement this model to attract talent and reduce burnout.
Many organizations, including some in the tech industry, have experimented with shorter workweeks. Research suggests that employees can remain just as productive, if not more so, when given extra time for rest and personal activities. This trend has gained attention as businesses seek innovative ways to support their workforce.
