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.
