  • A four-day workweek is benefiting some companies, so why is five the norm?

    For decades, the standard 38-hour workweek has been spread across five days. But in recent years, some companies have begun trialling a four-day, 32-hour workweek. The results of these trials have been positive, with increased productivity and employee well-being. The idea of a four-day workweek has been gaining traction, however, it is not feasible for all industries due to the need for in-person service. The current 5-day workweek has its roots in the 19th Century and was adopted in Australia in the 20th Century.

  • A four-day work week can be \’life-changing.\’ Should Canadians get one?

    A U.K. study conducted by researchers from the University of Cambridge, Boston College, and Autonomy found that a four-day working week trial significantly reduced stress and illness in the workforce compared to a five-day working week. Of the 61 companies that participated, 56 said they are continuing with the four-day working week, with 18 making it a permanent change. Joe O’Connor, the director and co-founder of the Toronto-based Work Time Reduction Center of Excellence, said the four-day working week can motivate employees to meet targets, while also streamlining operations and attacking wasteful processes. A survey found that 91 per cent of senior managers in corporate Canada polled would support a four-day work week for their team, with nearly three-quarters of workers saying they would put in four 10-hour days in exchange for an extra day off a week. O’Connor believes the future of work will be shorter and smarter. Follow my Facebook group for more updates on the four-day working week trend.
