How Does A Four Day Workweek Sound? It’s Already Happening Around The World
About this episode
The episode discusses the shift towards a four-day workweek and its historical context, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the five-day workweek initiated by Henry Ford.
On this 100th anniversary of the 5 day work week, let’s celebrate by making it 4! On May 1st, 1926, Henry Ford officially ended the standard 6 day work week and made it 5, believing it would actually increase productivity. It proved to be true, but now many countries have already taken that a step further, piloting successful programs that are encouraging more companies to adopt a new official workweek.
