- Get your workforce to do the same amount of work or more in a shorter amount of time. Some companies have begun experimenting with four-day workweeks with various results.
“We already can’t get the work done in five days, how on Earth could we get it done in four days? I was definitely apprehensive on it,” says Karen McCauley the CEO of ‘Fresh Squeezed Ideas.’
The company’s first stab at adopting a four-day workweek didn’t work out so well, but with some tweaks ‘freedom Friday’ gave way to ‘flexible Friday,’ and the results were better than expected.
Anne Gaviola has more.

4 day work week making the same amount ? so you are essentially doing 10 hours ? instead of 8 ?
@@verbalspaghettigaming7570 If you make the same per hour and work 8 hours and only work 4 days you make WAY less in a YEAR. Thats the point of my comment.
Yep. That's the idea. Some people thinks that it's 8 hours and 4 days. Lots of people can't do reading comprehension.
A 4 day work week but with 10 hours instead of 8 is extremely successful, they have done studies in Europe and should implement it in Canada!
A 4 day work week will lead to a lot of people in poverty as they will struggle with bills.
@verbalspaghettigaming7570 it's called those who are on min wage would struggle.. this 4 day work week would depend on the person's yearly income. We in Canada are already one of the highest taxed nations and with inflation out of control and govt spending. This 4 day work week would not benefit lower income households.
@@verbalspaghettigaming7570where do you think the money comes from? 😂😂😂
I work a lot. I’m not lazy. I’m definitely not a quiet quitter or anything resembling that.
That said, most Friday afternoons I am useless, just tired and burnt out feeling.
I’m coming around to this idea.,.
Go work in the heat of the summer sun like paving or roofing and try to make them work 10 hours a day
About 25 years ago, our company increased the work week to 8.5 hours a day. Then once every 3 weeks the office was closed for a flex day (it worked well for the complete shut down so no one was looking for another employee for something that was needed).
All the staff were so happy to do this…..it never landed on a long weekend.
It was great, very little absences, people booked appointments on OFF days ETC………what ever happened to that concept?
Anything can happen if people stop voting liberal
This is amazing for the hard working folks, its easier to beat the competition and put them out of business when they only work 4days. Stay woke everyone!
Sure why not give everyone a 4 day workweek...the budget will balance itself. Plus may as well work our way down to no workdays with UBI and AI phasing everyone out soon enough😏
4-day work week is that the request of the laziest generations we've ever seen in the history of this country.
@@on2thenextthing ok, boomer.
It'll be compressed days. 10 hour work days instead of 8, old man.
that will give people more insentive to work multiple jobs monday to thursday at one job and friday to sunday at another job. yeah that is a way to burn people out especially since most people will be part time and not qualify for any benefits. this will benefit employers and not empoyees for sure
@@verbalspaghettigaming7570 did you even read and understand the comment. I think you might need to read it again as i pointed out people would need two jobs. but some rich guy like you doesn't have to worry about that.
It’s called 4 on 4 off. It’s not some new idea.
So everyone is struggling and someone thinks less work is the solution? Why not just free money? If you can afford to work 4 days, go for it. But most can’t…
This will literally only benefit salary workers.
No problem. 4 days of pay to go with it.
Freedom Friday now that’s racist
Scripts can work 24/7. Two extra hours for truck driver will lead to tragedy.
We came to an 8 hour work day because of our body abilities. Time to replace office workers with AI. Start with HR.
My job switched to 4 X 10 hour days. Having 3 days off was like a mini vacation every week. Only 4 commutes a week instead of 5 was a bonus. It was great while it lasted. But they went back to 5 X 8 because scheduling was too difficult for the boss.
Back in the days my parents work 2 jobs 16 hours /6 days a week so we can have a better education and life by saving each of their child a house.
Lot of lazy people out there nowadays. I used to work three jobs when I was young. My first real job was 14 years old. Prior to that I had a paper route at 9. Now they cry if they have to work 5 days a week. Utterly pathetic.
@@verbalspaghettigaming7570 most asian parents are like this
@@verbalspaghettigaming7570 my parents run a business now and they are in their 80 and they are still happy working now
@@on2thenextthing Yeah, 3 jobs when you were young and didn't have a spouse or children or other obligations adults do. That's different. I'm guessing you also didn't have that long of a commute at 9 or 14 lol.
Let's start by getting uncivil servants to work at least one day a week.
Isn't that the truth.
Join a trade union lol
😂😂😂🤣
How about a 20hour work week?
I'm just waiting for UBI so I can quit working for good. Early retirement on the tax payers dime!~
