Juliet Schor was quoted in a new article about the results of her study on the four-day work week.
BOSTON – Do four-day work weeks work? The full results of an international study are in and they show the trial was an overwhelming success.
Juliet Schor, a Boston College sociology professor, collaborated on the six-month trial that involved dozens of companies in the United Kingdom. Thousands of employees worked a 32-hour week instead of 40.
The study found employers seem to love it.
“We were able to reach out to all of the companies, and there are 61 of them, and they are not going back to the five-day week. So that’s pretty exciting,” Schor said.
Employees saw benefits off the job as well.
