Redesign How Your Business Works with Four Day Work Week Global
If your team is burning out, meetings are ballooning, or performance feels inconsistent, the issue isn’t your people — it’s your systems. Four Day Work Week Global helps leaders understand what’s really happening inside their organisation before recommending any model, program, or shorter week.
A sustainable 4 Day Week isn’t the starting point. It’s the outcome of redesign done right.
Trusted by 2,500+ organizations across 37 countries
Most Leaders Come to Us Because Something Feels Off, Even If They Can’t Yet Name It
Across industries, sizes, and sectors, organizations are facing the same challenges:
High turnover draining resources and institutional knowledge
Meeting overload stealing hours of productive time
Teams stretched thin and struggling to maintain quality
Burnout increasing sick days and reducing engagement
Operational inefficiencies hiding in plain sight
Client delivery pressure rising as internal systems lag
This isn’t a “people problem”. It’s a design problem.
Four Day Work Week Global begins by helping you understand exactly what’s happening inside your business because sustainable change starts with clarity, not assumptions.
The 5-Day Work Week Was Built for a Different Century
The traditional idea: more hours = more output is outdated. In the modern economy, productivity comes from the systems that support your people:
How you meet
How you communicate
How decisions get made
How work is handed over
How you measure success
How you protect focus time
How clients experience your process
The 4 Day Week is not a reward, perk, or experiment. It’s the result of redesigning these systems properly. Four Day Work Week Global exists to help leaders redesign work at the root so performance improves long before hours reduce.
Before We Transform Anything, We Diagnose Everything
Every transformation begins with understanding your current reality. The Pre-Engagement Audit Includes:
A deep analysis of where time actually goes
Mapping bottlenecks, handover gaps, and process friction
Meeting culture review (frequency, length, usefulness, attendance)
Communication flow and tool usage
Client delivery mapping and operational pressure points
Productivity baselines and well-being indicators
A readiness assessment for a future 4 Day Week design
Outcome: A clear, evidence-based picture of your business — and a personalized pathway forward. No guesswork. No assumptions. No one-size-fits-all solutions.
