110 Companies That Have Adopted the 4-day Workweek in 2023

This four-day workweek company database was originally published on October 26, 2021, and last updated on April 17, 2023. If a company is missing, please let us know via [email protected].

Many companies are putting the well-being of their employees first by allowing them to work four days per week with a three-day weekend. Some companies have even reduced hours without reducing pay.

The most interesting part is many companies report the same level of productivity, despite reduced hours due to increased efficiency when working. Overworked employees become less efficient due to stress fatigue, and other factors.

The 40-hour workweek is a classic example of Parkinson’s Law. If you work 40 hours, work expands as to fill the time available for its completion. By emphasizing results over hours logged, businesses achieve the same output in fewer hours, leaving employees with more time to pursue other activities that are important to them.

The idea of working less may seem radical, but it’s not the first time society has changed the number of hours worked. During the Industrial Revolution, most people worked between 12 and 16 hours per day, six days a week, an 80-100 hour workweek.

It wasn’t until Henry Ford popularized the 40-hour, five-day workweek in 1926. It began as an experiment at select plants in July 1926 and became company policy by September the same year because the output of workers remain the same.

Fast-forward to today and many companies believe the four-day workweek could offer similar benefits seen by Ford. There are even websites dedicated to surfacing jobs with a four-day workweek.

Not only can reduced hours improve efficiency, but it can also yield substantial savings on recruitment expenses and overtime pay.

It’s not only companies that are experimenting with the four-day workweek. Iceland has conducted several large-scale trials of the four-day workweek between 2015 and 2019, finding it an “overwhelming success”.

The trials’ found that a shorter week increased employee wellbeing: stress, burnout, health, and work-life balance all improved.

Spain launched a three-year pilot in September 2021 which will cost the European Union 50 million euros to compensate an estimated 200 companies for reducing their employees' workweek to 32 hours without cutting salary.

Scotland plans to launch a similar trial of a four-day 32-hour workweek where workers will have their hours reduced without any loss in compensation.

“Earlier this year we tried what we called the Swash Summer Slowdown, in which everyone got one half day off per week, on a set and consistent schedule. This ended up as something of a pilot program for the 4 day work week, but we weren’t at all sure we wanted to commit to what felt like such a big change without hearing from staff about how they thought the Slowdown went. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive: just four extra hours during the work week gave everyone the opportunity to build their week around not just what they had to do, but around what they wanted to do, when they wanted to do it....So now we’re expanding those four hours given back per week to eight hours.”

As they navigated the challenges of building a remote company culture, they found that Fridays weren’t as fun when you were burnt out and stuck at home. So they made a change, switching to a compressed four-day workweek with Friday as a flex day:

“Our team could use Friday to relax, go for a hike, hang out with friends and family, work on projects, catch up on emails, or even write Medium posts like this one! All we asked was for our team to do their best to maintain the productivity levels of a typical five-day workweek.”

“I want to make sure our team has plenty of time to do the stuff they love outside of work. Unfortunately, a lot of companies have built environments where it’s expected, or at least the workload encourages, working much longer days…So starting next week, we’re going to give it a shot. The entire team will work only 4 days a week. We will not be tacking on an extra hour to the other 4 days. We will just be working 32 hours.”

Since then, the company continues to work four days a week.

City of Morgantown, WV

Rather than reducing hours, the city opted to have employees work 40 hours in four days. The idea behind the move was that it would allow departments to operate earlier and later, so residents could come in before or after work, rather than taking time out from work.

DNSFilter

DNSFilter provides industry-leading DNS threat protection and content filtering. Asim Baksh, People Operations Lead at DNSFilter wrote:

"We have been fully remote since our inception, have championed innovative benefits like continuing education and home office build-outs, and we practice virtually total transparency with our internal team. We believe this investment in our culture has been a key to our success, but it requires constant evaluation to ensure we’re providing the best environment for our employees to succeed.

That’s why when Iceland ran a 4-day workweek trial, we decided to follow suit."

Their four-day workweek is a little different, they rotate two groups who have each Friday off. This allows them to maintain full customer support and incident response coverage while giving everybody at least two 3-day-weekends per month.

Fifth Tribe

When asked whether it would be permanent or not, CEO Khuram Zaman said:

"In terms of whether it’s indefinite or not: We had initially conceived of it as just being a two-month test in the summer but everyone liked it. I think right now we’re doing it on a quarter-by-quarter basis. I think once we return to a semblance of normalcy, we might just keep it with the summer. However, right now, the cognitive overload is high and having an extra day off every other week is helpful."

“At the beginning of the year, we moved to a four-day workweek, which I spent a lot of time thinking about, the management teams had a lot of time thinking about. We came to the decision that people do their best work when they're fresh and they're recharged, they're fired up about coming into work. There's something about the three-day weekend we've all experienced it where having that extra day, you could come back into the office and you're like, ‘Man, it was great to have Monday. It was great to have Friday.’ You're ready to hit it hard again because you just had that extra day of recharge. So we're experimenting now, we're in the middle, it's a six-month experiment.”

THRYVE

1. To prioritize the wellbeing, happiness, and health of their staff
