A new study tracked 2,896 employees across six countries, demonstrating that four-day workweeks without pay cuts enhance well-being. Participants reported lower levels of burnout, improved sleep, and higher job satisfaction. 67% noted decreased burnout, 41% reported better mental health, and 38% experienced improved sleep quality after six months. A control group working five-day weeks did not show significant change. Additionally, 52% of employees reported increased productivity while working fewer hours, supporting the notion that a condensed workweek can be beneficial.
A new global study led by researchers tracked 2,896 employees across six countries, revealing that four-day workweeks without pay cuts significantly boost employee well-being.
After six months of working only four days a week, 67% of employees reported less burnout, 41% noted improvements in mental health, and 38% experienced better sleep.
The study tracked a control group of 300 people working traditional five-day weeks, which did not report any meaningful changes in well-being metrics.
52% of workers reported increased productivity despite working fewer hours, indicating a positive correlation between reduced workdays and job satisfaction.
