What are we doing?
It’s time to try a 4 day work week! 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. For [your workplace’s name] this could mean _____________ [some ideas include: taking off Fridays, increasing pay for hourly employees, creating rotating schedules for our customer service teams]. There are lots of details to consider, and we are excited to explore different ideas. That’s why we want to join the Four Day Week pilot, an easy way for our company to test if it works for us: a few months in 2022 to try a shorter work week, led by industry experts who have already made the transition and researchers at Harvard, Oxford, and Boston College.

Why do we need a 4 day week?
Currently at our workplace, it can be hard to ____________________ [some ideas include: find time for family outside our working hours; balance the expectations of work and taking care of our communities during a pandemic; prioritize the right work with so many meetings]. A shorter workweek can make it easier for our people to care for their families and loved ones, recuperate from stress, and connect with our communities and the outdoors. And studies show that employees with a 4 day week are less likely to experience burnout, are more likely to stay at their company, and are just as productive. We have the chance to try something better. Are you with us?
