Data: The 4 Day Work Week

What is happening? Results from a 6 month pilot program of a 4 day work week in North America and Ireland revealed that 63% of businesses found it easier to attract & retain talent; 78% of employees reported greater satisfaction with fewer sick days; and revenues rose 8.14%, weighted by company size. “When compared to the same six-month period in 2021 to the trial period in 2022, the increase was much larger at 37.55%” For those paying attention, employees are paid based on a 5 day work week and work a 4 day work week.

Why is this important? I can’t believe I need to explain that this isn’t about paying employees less, but here we are.
