A global study demonstrated that a four-day workweek positively influences employee well-being, showing improved health and happiness among workers. Nearly 70% reported reduced burnout, while over 40% noticed enhanced mental health and 38% experienced better sleep. The trial involved 2,896 employees from various countries over six months, with participants on a four-day schedule feeling less stressed and more productive. Initial concerns about increased pressure were unfounded, as findings revealed lower stress levels and improved work completion rates in participants compared to a control group.
Nearly 70% of employees reported less burnout, over 40% said their mental health improved, and 38% experienced better sleep.
Beyond maintaining productivity, people just feel so much better. They feel on top of their work and their life, and they're not stressed out.
After six months, employees working four days a week instead of five reported an improved ability to complete their work and decreased fatigue.
The researchers followed 2,896 employees on a four-day workweek for six months, spanning 141 companies in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand.
