The 4-day workweek: Science explains why it could improve our minds, bodies, and companies' bottom lines
, anxiety, burnout, fatigue, and sleep issues, alongside better work-life balance. For the 47 companies that reported financial data, revenue largely stayed the same."As much as work can be rewarding and fulfilling, it's also stressful and takes time that we'd like to spend doing other things. So it just seems logical to me that working fewer hours would be associated with a range of improvements," Gehrman told Insider.
The participating companies also weren't required to use the same schedule. Employers could nix Fridays, allow staff to work shorter hours over a five-day workweek, implement an average 32-hour week over the course of a year, or make the four-day week contingent on meeting performance targets. Having a shorter workweek could add a little extra pressure to work efficiently. That's because human brains sometimes work best on deadlines, according to Alex Korb, a neuroscientist at the University of California, Los Angeles.
