A recent study led by economist Juliet B. Schor highlights the positive impacts of a four-day workweek, showing that 70% of employees reported reduced burnout and over 40% saw improvements in mental health. Businesses adopting this model, such as Civo and Kickstarter, experienced boosts in employee engagement and productivity, with over 90% of companies continuing the initiative after initial trials. The pilots have demonstrated broader benefits, including improved bottom-line metrics and reduced turnover, making a compelling case for the four-day workweek across various sectors.
Nearly 70% of workers reported reduced burnout, over 40% experienced better mental health, and 37% saw better physical health.
Over 90% of companies that started a six-month trial by June 2023 were still on a four-day workweek schedule a year later.
Kickstarter's employee engagement is up 50% as a result of the four-day week pilot program.
According to Civo's CEO, every employee is on a four-day week and most opted for Fridays off.
