THE CASE FOR A FOUR-DAY WORKWEEK Companies that have piloted a four-day workweek report something counterintuitive: productivity often holds steady, or even rises, despite one fewer working day. Employees, freed from the fatigue of a fifth day, arrive more focused and less prone to error. Critics warn of unrealistic workloads being compressed into less time, and they have a point — the policy only works if it comes with a genuine reduction in expected output, not just a relabeling of the same demands. Implemented carelessly, it becomes a trap rather than a benefit.
