In late February, the largest global experiment on the four-day workweek, initiated and promoted by the "4 Days Work Global" organization, in collaboration with Autonomy, a think tank, as well as scholars from Boston and Cambridge universities, released its results.
The experiment involved 61 companies and approximately 2,900 employees from various industries and company sizes. The companies had the flexibility to design their own version of the four-day workweek, with five main models, tailored to their respective needs.
The preliminary results indicate that the experiment was well-received by employers and employees alike, with enhancement in employee well-being, including reduced stress levels, fatigue, and anxiety. Simultaneously, companies' productivity and profits remained stable, with some even reporting an increase.
