5 reasons why the 4-day workweek is a win for everyone

Juliet Schor, an economist and sociologist, has written a new book called "Four Days a Week: The Life-Changing Solution for Reducing Employee Stress, Improving Well-Being, and Working Smarter". The concept of a four-day workweek is becoming increasingly realistic and beneficial for both employees and companies. Research shows that switching to a four-day week can increase well-being, retention, and productivity, while reducing fatigue and stress. Governments are starting to get involved in legislating fewer working hours, and many companies are already seeing success with the four-day week. According to Schor, the four-day week is life-changing for employees, who experience improved physical and mental health, better sleep, and reduced stress and burnout. Working less also boosts productivity, as people are more efficient, motivated, and effective in their work. Companies that implement the four-day week see increased productivity, reduced turnover, and improved overall success. Almost all companies that try the four-day week stick with it, and the benefits persist over time. The four-day week is becoming more common, with governments and companies around the world adopting it, and it may become the new standard as technology continues to advance. Schor believes that the four-day week is the smart option for protecting the economy, democracy, and society.
