Four-day working week may boost our health and performance at work

In recent years, the concept of a four-day work week has gained traction as more companies explore ways to improve employee well-being and productivity. A study conducted by Wen Fan and her team at Boston College analyzed the impact of a four-day work week on employees’ health, job satisfaction, and overall performance.

The study included data from 141 companies across the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Ireland that participated in a pilot program led by the non-profit organization 4 Day Week Global. Before implementing the four-day work week, these companies worked with outside advisors to reorganize their workflow and eliminate inefficiencies such as unnecessary meetings.

After the six-month program, employees who transitioned to a four-day work week reported lower rates of burnout, increased job satisfaction, and improved mental and physical health. Factors contributing to these improvements included better sleep, reduced fatigue, and a sense of improved productivity.

Interestingly, the benefits of the four-day work week were consistent across age, gender, and work location. However, supervisors reported greater improvements in well-being compared to non-supervisors. The researchers did not specifically identify the exact factors that led to these positive outcomes, but it is believed that reduced work hours and a more flexible schedule played a significant role.

Lonnie Golden, a researcher at Pennsylvania State University, highlighted the importance of companies treating their employees well and creating a trusting environment. Factors such as eliminating the need for a daily commute, allowing for more leisure time, and reducing distractions may contribute to higher well-being and productivity among employees.

Despite initial concerns about job intensification, where employees may feel more stressed due to completing their tasks in fewer days, the study found the opposite to be true. Over 90% of companies that adopted a four-day work week during the pilot program decided to continue with this schedule after the program ended, indicating the long-term benefits of this approach.

Overall, the results of this study suggest that a four-day work week can have a positive impact on employee well-being, job satisfaction, and performance. By embracing innovative work arrangements and prioritizing work-life balance, companies can create a more productive and healthy work environment for their employees.
