A recent study by Boston College found that transitioning to a permanent four-day workweek can lead to increased job satisfaction and well-being among employees while maintaining productivity. The research, published in Nature Human Behavior, tracked nearly 3,000 employees across 141 companies in six countries who switched to a four-day schedule with no pay reduction for six months. Results showed that those on the shorter schedule experienced less burnout, higher job satisfaction, improved productivity, fewer sleep problems, and less fatigue. Further studies are planned to explore the long-term effects on workplace culture and performance. (Newser)
