New data from a four-day workweek pilot looks at how workers fared under the test for a year.
Workers were happier and more efficient, and their firms ended up bringing in more in revenue.
Rep. Mark Takano wants to make the shorter week law, and says it's here to stay.
The results are in: A four-day workweek pays off for workers and their workplaces, and one lawmaker says that means it's time for 32 hours on the clock to become law.
On Wednesday, 4 Day Week Global — a New Zealand-based nonprofit — released findings from its latest installment of its pilot program testing out a four-day work week in participating companies across a range of countries including the US, Australia, and the United Kingdom. It found that after a year testing out the shortened week, it remained a resounding success.
Workers were more efficient, even as work intensity dipped. They worked less, and were able to better maintain their work-life balance. Revenue at firms participating grew by 15%, and a third of employees said they were less likely to leave their jobs.
