More than half of workers said the four-day work week increased their ability to do their job, and 71% said it reduced burnout, according to a new study. On the heels of the data, Sen. Bernie Sanders said even more businesses need to follow suit.
Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, an independent who votes with Democrats, said even more businesses need to turn to the four-day workweek.
This is according to the final results of a study of how 61 U.K. companies and their approximately 2,900 workers fared with a compressed workweek between June and December 2022. The study was carried out by 4 Day Week Global, a nonprofit that supports the idea of a shorter workweek. In the U.K. study, a large majority of participating businesses — 92% — said they planned to continue with the four-day workweek, researchers noted. Two of the other five businesses will continue the four-day workweek on a trial basis, while the other three are stopping for now.
Early data on the U.K. trial run showed widespread popularity among the businesses trying the shorter week. At the time, almost half of businesses said productivity was the same, while one-third said there was a slight improvement, and 15% saw a more marked improvement. The question remains: How many more companies will go along with the idea? Late last year, 40% of surveyed companies said they were either starting a four-day week or thinking about using one, according to EY’s Future Workplace Index.
