The four-day workweek is becoming increasingly popular in the world

04.03.2021 News

Over the past three years, the number of vacancies in the world has tripled with a four-day working week. Their number increased to 62 per 10,000.

It is noted that the effectiveness of the reduced working week is also confirmed by the results of research conducted by the British think tank Autonomy.

“The four-day week is gaining momentum. For the vast majority of companies, reducing working hours is a very real goal,” said Will Strong, director of research at Autonomy.

In turn, employers note that happy, interested and balanced employees do a much better job.
