Seems to be especially popular four day work week, to the point that many of them state that they are especially willing to quit their jobs in order to have another day off. The relevant data are given in his publication. moneyreview.gr and American news network CNBC. According to a March survey of 868 workers, 61% of them say they prefer a four-day work week over the traditional five-day work week. And 33% say they would quit their job to find a job at a four-day company. Tellingly, at a time when major high-tech, financial and insurance companies are pursuing mass layoffs, many workers are still considering the need for more flexibility in the context of their employment. Half of respondents say they would be more productive with a shorter workweek, and 10% would accept a pay cut to ensure such favorable conditions.

For decades, the four-day work week was considered almost the equivalent of a science fiction scenario. However, the number of relevant experiments is increasing on a global scale, which show that companies that try it are satisfied with the results, as are the employees themselves. A six-month trial held non-profit organization 4 Day Week Global, considered the world’s largest four-day work week experiment, found that workers experienced less burnout, more engagement with their jobs, and were more satisfied with their day-to-day work, personal life, finances, and relationships. Businesses also saw benefits such as higher productivity and satisfaction, which resulted in higher revenues and lower employee turnover.

The structure of the shortened work week can vary, with some companies opting for a four-day work week with ten-hour shifts, while others are limited to a 32-hour work week. 56% of those surveyed said they were willing to work longer hours in order to have three days off a week. In fact, more than a third of workers admit that they are still not equally productive all five days of the week. About 15% say they have participated in so-called “Minimum Mondays”, doing minimum work on Mondays and being more productive the rest of the week. Meanwhile, 22% of workers say they are focused at the beginning of their week but may be less productive on Friday. However, 53% believe they are productive all five days of the week. Finally, only four out of ten people who took part in the survey note that they prefer to observe the traditional five-day week.
