While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
- Some US companies have started to experiment with a four-day workweek as a way to retain employees.
- A 2021 survey of US workers found that 61 percent of those who currently have a four-day workweek would not go back to a five-day workweek.
- The same survey found that 25 percent of those respondents would not go back to a five-day workweek even if they were offered a higher salary.
- This suggests that once employees experience the benefits of a four-day workweek, they are highly motivated to keep it.
- A shorter workweek has been linked to various benefits, including improved work-life balance and increased productivity.
