Reply To: What are your thoughts on the four-day work week? Could it work for your workplace?

It could work with some flexibility. I think it might have to be a week 1, week 2 schedule to accommodate payroll processing, or be flexible with which day was the day off. There would also have be considerations for the various departments and peak season. As an employee I think it is brilliant to have 3-days off. So often you spend an entire day of your weekend doing chores. I see some benefits from an employer point of view, pilot programs have had mixed results with some showing an increase in productivity whereas others have just shown an increase in stressed employees. I think to implement this successfully it has to be very flexible and there needs to be a culture of ‘just get your work done’ already in the company.
