The concept of a four-day workweek has started to gain significant traction among businesses of all sizes. There's a subtle distinction between the traditional four-day workweek and the compressed workweek, however. Today, we will discuss the compressed workweek and what it means for employees.
A compressed workweek involves working the same number of hours (typically 40) in fewer days, usually four. This could mean four ten-hour days or nine consecutive nine-hour weekdays with every other Friday off. The goal is to provide employees with more flexibility and time for personal commitments.
The compressed workweek offers several advantages, including:
This strategy seems great, but for employees there are also challenges to consider. They include:
Would your workforce be able to get all their work done in a compressed schedule? Would giving them more time off benefit their ability to focus at the times they are at work? Determining whether a compressed workweek is suitable for your business largely depends on them, but you can set them up to make any strategy work.
