A new study shows that workers on a four-day workweek report being happier and more productive. The largest trial ever conducted of a four-day workweek found that the schedule had a positive and noticeable impact on employee well-being. Two weeks before the four-day workweek began, employees were asked questions like, "How would you rate your mental health?" One major company that utilizes a four-day workweek is crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, which started its shortened workweek as a pilot program in 2021. Kickstarter CEO Everette Taylor told investor Kevin O'Leary last year that employees are "very productive' within the four-day week structure.
