The 4 day week is a reduction in the hours we work, without a reduction in pay or benefits. This shift has been proven to work for employees who feel healthier and more fulfilled, and for employers in nearly every industry, who enjoy the same levels of productivity and increased employee retention.

We have the chance to try something better. Are you with us?","cannotChangeAssociatedPartnership":null,"localChapterId":null,"location":null,"utmParams":{},"partnershipId":null}}
