    4 days work week (with the same pay) improves employee health, happiness and makes the company 20% more money than 5 days week.

    But sure, it’s some woke socialists idea.

      It’s 1 less day to enjoy the chains of capitalism. We can’t have more moments for realization now can we?

        The idea being that you are more productive and more focused because you are more rested.

        It’s probably tnaked to a decrease in stupid preventable mistakes.

        Most companies aren’t able to count the costs of stupid preventable mistakes. 20% is the number I’ve seen, but it’s low because of hard to measure factors.

        The companies that do understand the costs of stupid preventable mistakes usually go in a “work life balance” binge to improve their own bottom line.

        No clue. I got that number from articles about multiple pilot runs. Well, honestly, it depends; on the company structure and what they do. A minority of companies made a bit less. But on average in the range 10% to 20% more. Guesses are, because not much happens at friday anyway and employees are less tired on monday. 4 days workweek just seems to hit a better balance.
