Brazil’s first 4 day week group trial

In a collaboration between 4 Day Week Brazil and Reconnect Happiness at Work, the 4 day week pilot program in Brazil has brought together companies from across the nation to reduce work hours, challenging the conventional logic that "Brazil is not ready for this."

Renata Rivetti, director and founder of Reconnect and National Partner for Brazil, invites everyone to question this idea and to come together to prepare the country, promoting increased well-being, boosting productivity, and optimizing business efficiency for work-time transformation.

This report marks a crucial moment in the pilot, as most companies are reaching the halfway point of the experimental period of the 4 day week. Since January 2024, these companies have been testing the 100-80-100™ model, seeking to innovate and find solutions for a more balanced and sustainable way of working.

Brazil is the first country in South America to embark on this innovative journey, demonstrating leadership in the search for new forms of work organization.

This report will explore the insights and findings so far, highlighting the challenges faced, lessons learned, and emerging opportunities on the path towards reducing work-time by up to 20%.
