In case the title prematurely swayed you, dear reader:
"Despite the challenges, many of those who have taken part in the scheme say staff already seem happier and more motivated. Productivity has also improved in many cases."
I had a bit of a dig but there's no formal results out yet.
I'm curious - why? Is it the potentially longer hours on the 4 days you're in, or something else? The extra day could be used for hobbies, working out/going outdoors, spending family time, etc...?
I currently spend time with my family, We go outdoors, and I have hobbies. Not sure why this isn’t possible with a 40 hour work week?
I’m not sure what to say other than I like to work and would enjoy more, not less of it. I would also be concerned that my 4-day work week company was losing to competitors who are not reducing their output by 20%.
And I don’t buy the argument that less time spent working will Increase productivity. This is just… no lol.
