Forbes conducted a survey of 1,301 workers and found 41% of both front-line workers and knowledge workers want flexibility in when they work, and 56% of front-line workers and 69% of knowledge workers want the ability to opt for a 4-day work week with no pay reduction.
Chick-Fil-A stores allow their staff to work 13-hour shifts for three consecutive days with full pay. This practice has shown that staff stay longer with the company and have less customer service efficiencies.
A four-day work week is not a one size fits all companies. If your company is interested in possibly allowing their staff to work four days a week, do a test run for a full pay period or two. This will allow you to see how your staff’s work drive gets better and see the moral changes. If you see that the staff’s productivity gets better, and morale is higher. You may want to investigate the advantages of having a 4-day work week.
This is not a quick fix for burn out or even low productivity. This is an idea that could help change the dynamics of the company and help the retention of your staff.
