Amell, Tyler; Rudner, Stuart
- Abstract
This article explores the advantages and challenges of implementing a four-day workweek, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. It discusses how organizations are considering alternative work schedules to reduce stress and increase flexibility. The article cites studies that demonstrate improved productivity and work-life balance with a shorter workweek. It also addresses legal considerations and potential concerns, such as human rights and constructive dismissal. The article concludes by recommending that employers consult with an employment lawyer to ensure compliance and maximize flexibility. The article provides a list of endnotes that offer additional information and resources on topics such as productivity, the productivity-pay gap, work-related health issues, and research on the effectiveness of a four-day workweek. These resources can be valuable for library patrons conducting research on these specific subjects.
