The Four-Day Workweek: A Strategic Shift for Businesses
Campbell
As the global workforce evolves, the four-day workweek is emerging as a transformative model for boosting productivity, enhancing employee well-being, and reshaping workplace culture. In New Zealand and Australia, a growing number of companies across diverse sectors are adopting or trialing the approach, showing encouraging results that local leaders can learn from.
What Is a Four-Day Workweek?
Not all 4 day weeks are created equal.
The most common model, known as 100:80:100, offers employees 100% pay for 80% of the time, with a commitment to maintaining 100% productivity. It's not about compressing 40 hours into four days; it's about rethinking work processes to do more with less time, while protecting output and supporting well-being.
