Результаты огонь: 💪 рост удовлетворенности работой, 😴 улучшение сна, 🔥 резкое снижение выгорания. Особенно повезло тем, кто смог сократить часы сильнее всего. Вывод ученых: меньше работы = больше продуктивности и счастья. IT-компании, берёте на карандаш? 😉 #worklifebalance #инновации
178441302 story Science Confirms What We All Suspected: Four-Day Weeks Rule (theregister.com) 78 Posted by BeauHD on Tuesday July 22, 2025 @06:30PM from the working-less-works-better dept. A six-month international study found that a four-day workweek with no reduction in pay significantly improved employee well-being, job satisfaction, and sleep quality , with burnout dropping most among those who reduced their hours by eight or more. «The results indicate that income-preserving four-day workweeks are an effective organizational intervention for enhancing workers’ well-being,» the researchers said. The Register reports: The study, reported in Nature Human Behaviour , was designed to test the effects of the four-day workweek with no reduction in pay. It relied on a six-month trial involving 2,896 employees in 141 organizations in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, Ireland, and the US. The researchers compared work and health-related indicators — including burnout, job satisfaction, and mental and physical health — before and after the intervention using survey data. A further 285 employees at 12 companies did not participate in the trial and acted as a control. The researchers noted that the study was limited in that companies volunteered to participate, and the sample consisted of smaller companies from English-speaking countries. More extensive government-sponsored trials might help provide a clearer picture, they said. While several factors may explain the effect, one possibility is «increased intrinsic motivation at work,» the study said. «Unfortunately, [we] cannot assess [this] due to data limitations.» «Despite its limitations, this study has important implications for understanding the future of work, with 4-day workweeks probably being a key component. Scientific advances from this work will inform the development of interventions promoting better organization of paid work and worker well-being. This task has become increasingly important with the rapid expansion of new digital, automation, and artificial general intelligence technologies.» ← You may like to read: → Apple Set To Stave Off Daily Fines, EU To Accept App Store Changes China Raises Tariffs on US Goods To 84% as Rift Escalates Amazon To Display Tariff Costs For Consumers, Report Says Trump AI Czar Sacks on Universal Basic Income: ‘It’s Not Going To Happen’ China Raises Tariffs on US Imports To 125% European Tourism To US Plunges Brave Browser Blocks Microsoft Recall By Default
