AdvertisementThe much-coveted four-day workweek is back in the news this month after Sen. Bernie Sanders introduced new legislation and held a congressional hearing calling for a 32-hour national workweek. The buzz around a shorter workweek became a certified boom with the COVID-19 pandemic. AdvertisementThe four-day workweek has, in many ways, become shorthand for any shorter workweek, encompassing a wide variety of flexible schedules. Attracting top-tier employees is just one reason Dimitri Cavathas, CEO of Lower Shore Clinic, started considering a four-day workweek for his company. Lawmakers in several states have introduced legislation posing four-day workweek trials or research programs, including California, Massachusetts, Maryland, and Hawaii, though none have passed yet.

Gen Z, on the heels of the pandemic, is pushing for changes to how we work. Workers across generations are benefitting from some of the questions Gen Z has been asking. AdvertisementAdvertisementThanks, Gen Z. Gen Zers aren't likely to get everything they're asking for — at least not right away. And even workplace jargon — that code for showing you belong because you know how to toss it around — is getting a Gen Z rewrite .

☆ Science Proves the 4-Day Workweek Prevents Burnout, Helps Productivity

At the time, back in 2018, a New Zealand firm had just wrapped up a landmark trial to test the efficacy of a four-day workweek. A lot of the benefits of the four-day workweek come down to a simple, everyday activity: sleep. A lot of the benefits of the four-day workweek come down to a simple, everyday activity: sleep. Less time, more productiveThough the four-day workweek may seem like a recent phenomenon, it's been decades in the making. But for now, the four-day workweek certainly has the potential to be a far-reaching antidote to pressing workplace concerns such as mass resignations and the burnout crisis.

  + stars: | 2023-04-14 | by ( Morgan Smith | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Dozens of countries including Ireland, Spain and the UK have tested a 4-day workweek, with overwhelmingly positive results: Businesses that participated in a six-month trial in the UK, which ended in December 2022, said switching to a 4-day workweek improved productivity, morale and team culture. Although no country has fully adopted a 4-day workweek, some countries are experimenting with one or have policies that allow workers to request a shorter schedule. Here are four countries where the 4-day workweek has been widely adopted, or is being tested:South AfricaMore than 500 employees at 28 companies are participating in South Africa's 4-day workweek trial, which began in March and will continue until September. IcelandBetween 2015 and 2019, Iceland led one of the largest 4-day workweek pilots to date, with close to 2,500 people participating. However, uptake of the 4-day workweek among businesses in Iceland's private sector "seems to be slow," he adds, as many employers are placing the onus on individuals to negotiate for worktime reductions instead of offering a 4-day workweek as an automatic benefit to all employees.
☆ 'Rest is productive': How slowing down at work can help you get more done
  + stars: | 2023-01-06 | by ( Morgan Smith | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
But it turns out that slowing down, doing less and setting aside time to rest can actually help you be more successful — and productive — at work in the long run. "Rest is an essential component of working well and working smart," Alex Soojung-Kim Pang, author of the book "Rest: Why You Get More Done When You Work Less," once explained in an op-ed for Greater Good Magazine. What's more, "rest is productive," LaShawn Davis, a human resources consultant, tells CNBC Make It. People who prioritize rest, Davis adds, show up to work more energized, focused and prepared to tackle any challenges that arise. "But by learning to rest better, we can support them [and] let them work."
