• This CEO Says Moving to a 4-Day Workweek Helped His Company Avoid Layoffs "“I started to see a big shift in what was happening to us during those four days,” he says. “The concentration, the focus, the energy, the mindset of everyone just shifted. It was such an amazing experience to see that and I decided, well, we’re not going back. We’re going to stay four days and we’re going to figure this out.”
  
  Bosses and workers agree that a four-day workweek has big benefits for productivity, morale, stress levels and work-life balance, according to recent global experiments.
  
  A majority of workers and job seekers, 81%, support a four-day workweek, and 1 in 3 people would quit their current job for one with a shortened schedule.
  
  Mann says it was a no-brainer to restore everyone’s salaries to 100% even with fewer hours on the clock.
  
  Four years later, the biggest challenge of working a four-day week is continuously reducing priorities to the “big needle movers,” Mann says.
  
  Additionally, he says his team takes a “hyper-focused perspective” to work faster and with less effort, burden and “cognitive overload that can be created in an organization.”
  
  “We’re just figuring it out to make sure we continuously improve the prioritization, the focus, the tools, the processes we have to allow us to be agile yet focused in our given week,” Mann says. “There’s no playbook for this.”
  
  Overall, he’s optimistic about the four-day workweek becoming the new standard in the business world. As more companies use artificial intelligence to work more efficiently, Mann believes the workweek will be less dictated by a set number of hours and more about “the right objectives we get done as a team.”"
