Switching to a 4-day work week got rid of this company's 'Sunday Scaries'
in December. In that study, which included 33 companies spanning six countries, results showed the shortened work week was better for employees and the company's bottom line. Companies experienced increased revenue, and employees reported improvements in their health.
As for the mechanics of how a 4-day work week works at a place like Qwick, the idea is that employees get the same amount of work done in four days as they would normally complete in five, Kekic said. Most employees take off Friday, but some work on a rolling schedule that starts on Thursday. When the pandemic hit in 2020, Qwick saw its revenue drop nearly 80% overnight, Kekic said, which led the company to lay off about 65% of its team. Then in February of 2021, when Qwick was down to just a"skeleton team," revenue suddenly turned around.
