The 4 day week long-term results are here
This report not only includes new data from US and Canadian pilot participants, it also compares employee experiences from baseline to 12 months after their 4 day week launched, effectively doubling our previous comparison period.
A whole new perspective
This publication is the fourth installment in a series of research reports by 4 Day Week Global, which examine the feasibility and benefits of reduced work time. Not only does this edition gather evidence from a range of companies in the United States and Canada to demonstrate the impact of reduced work time on the North American market, but it provides insight into the longer term impact of the 4 day week beyond the trials’ conclusion.
4 Day Week Global’s standard pilot program is six months long and until now, we’ve only been able to provide a short-term analysis of the impact reduced work time has. This new data compares employee experiences from baseline (pre-trial) to 12 months after their 4 day week launched, effectively doubling our previous comparison period.
Findings are positive across the board, with this new evidence helping to counter concerns that previous successes were down to novelty and couldn’t be sustained long-term. Respondents are from organizations across the US, Canada, the UK and Ireland.
What is the 4 Day Week pilot program?
The pilot is a coordinated, 6-month trial of a 4 day week, with no loss in pay for employees. This program is being coordinated by 4 Day Week Global in partnership with researchers at Cambridge University and Boston College, together with local researchers in each region. You will have unparalleled access to the expertise, tools and resources you will need to run a smooth and successful trial.
