around the concept. But more companies are trialing the concept amid wider conversations about hybrid and flexible working."The 4 Day Week" by Andrew Barnes with Stephanie JonesAndrew Barnes is the CEO of Perpetual Guardian, a firm that introduced a four-day workweek to its New Zealand office in 2018. Workers were each given one day off a week between Monday and Friday, rather than the same day, and the company saw hikes in happiness and productivity.
Barnes, who is also the co-founder of the 4 Day Week Global campaign, says that rather than simply being about giving workers the freedom to take a day off, success depends on communication.The reason we don't have a 15-hour workweek, as the economist John Maynard Keynes predicted, is because most white-collar work is still centered around dull, ultimately meaningless jobs that provide people with little value, according to Graeber.
Some describe it as a bit of a rant, but it provides an overview of the general question of why do we work, and more importantly what for?Published in March 2020, just days before the US's first COVID-19 death, Pang tackles the four-day week concept from a practical, business perspective by studying how different organizations have implemented it, and the benefits they unlocked.
Pang has said in the past, if you're a business leader there are three ways of reducing working hours without cutting productivity: more concise meetings, periods of 'focus time' that enable workers to tackle their hardest tasks uninterrupted, and more careful use of technology.Not specifically about the four-day week as such, but in the wider theme of working reduced hours, Ferris' 2007 book remains a classic.
The book is packed full of templates and tips for how workers can cut down their schedules whilst remaining productive, which is the root aim of reducing your hours.
