4-Day Work Week

A 4-day work week is a schedule where employees work four days instead of the traditional five, often with the same total hours. Its goal is to improve work-life balance, boost productivity, and reduce stress. Companies adopting this model may compress work hours into four days or spread the same hours across fewer days. Some find it helps employees rest more, spend time with family, and feel more focused during work days. While not universally adopted, many see it as a way to create a healthier, more sustainable work environment.
