Studies have indicated the four-day week allows employees to have better work-life balance, which leads to reduced stress and burnout
A growing number of rural municipalities in Ontario are expressing interest in implementing a four-day work week, a group that supports local governments says, as another community in the province begins offering the model to staff.
Rural governments, like businesses, began exploring the idea after the COVID-19 pandemic forced changes to the way municipal services were carried out, Vokey said. “One is just the logistics of a smaller workforce being more nimble and being like a laboratory where you can test things,” Vokey said. “As the pandemic started to wind down a little bit, we thought to give the compressed work week a trial period.”
“The whole atmosphere in the office is absolutely better,” she said. “There’s nothing better than having happy staff.” “From an organizational perspective, it leads to higher employee satisfaction, retention and it’s a recruiting advantage for a number of organizations that implement this,” Trougakos said.
