Work 4, Take 3 off



Could your project handle a 4-day workweek? 
The principle of "get it done, no matter what it takes" would have to step aside I think. 
But during more routine periods, productivity might actually go up with no additional cost.

Obviously, there's lot to debate.
Here's what 'Management 3.0' thinks are the advantages (paraphrased from a recent newsletter)
Improved Well-being
Evidence shows a shorter workweek leads to reduced stress, lowered risk of burnout, and a significant boost in work-life balance.
Environmental Benefits
Less commuting translates directly to a reduction in carbon emissions. 
Enhanced Productivity
When time is compressed, focus intensifies. Studies, including those by 4 Day Week Global, indicate that employees become more efficient, prioritize effectively, and streamline their workflows, often maintaining or even exceeding previous productivity levels.
Economic Advantages
Improved well-being leads to reduced absenteeism and staff turnover
