Thousands of employees in the U.K. will be working four days a week for the next six months, in the largest such experiment to date.
Thousands of employees in the U.K. will be working four days a week for the next six months, in the largest such pilot program to date.
The more than 3,300 workers participating in the study will be paid the same amount and be expected to maintain the same level of productivity while working 80% of their normal hours, according to 4 Day Week Global, which is coordinating the experiment. The number of hours worked will be less.
Hamermesh's research has shown that the fraction of U.S. employees working four days a week has been steadily growing and tripled over the past half century. Hamermesh is skeptical that workers can maintain the same levels of productivity working just 80% of the time, but acknowledges they might not have always been 100% productive in the first place, noting,"goofing off on the job is not a bad thing, it's relaxing and reduces stress."
