We are in exciting times. Following the great resignation and hybrid work arrangements, we now have a new trend which is the four day work week.

Benefits of the four day work week include improved mental health, less stress and burnout, better work life balance, more family time, and better quality of work. Companies that experimented with the four day work week reported the same or increased employee productivity despite lower working hours.

Companies that have adopted the four day work week include Kickstarter, Healthwise, and thredUP. New regulations could make the four day work week mandatory for all companies in a particular region.
