The Surprising Viability of the Four-Day Workweek
Since 2022, Juliet B. Schor and her research team have studied 245 organizations that implemented a four-day workweek. Their findings indicate that such schedules can deliver broad benefits across industries and countries. Companies that implemented the “100-80-100” model (100% of pay for 80% of standard working hours while maintaining 100% productivity) reported steady or improved worker productivity, significant well-being improvements for employees, and minimal work-intensity increases.
