Best Business Practices

What do you think about a 4 day workweek? Increase Productivity and wellbeing?

I believe people are more productive when they only work for about 3-4 days in a row; by the 4-5th day people seem to be exhausted and their production goes down. Maybe they are sleep deprived by then, or simply fatigued. I think a 4 day work week might suit people best. What do you think? This leaves 3 days open for projects and rest. I would spend them this way: one day for me (exercise, hobbies) and family projects(spending time together), one for housework and/or school projects or just rest, and one for church and/or community service. I believe people would be less stressed out, less fatigued, less ill, more involved in the community and ultimately more productive at work and better members of society! What do you think? How would you spend your time? Any other suggestions?
When I Start My Own Business this is the way I think I’d like to treat my employees!

Excellent idea…bravo…I wish now everyone could jump on that band wagon. There would be a lot more advantages. Work week could still be from Monday to Friday with some employees having the Monday off, others having Friday. If it were flexible, then employees can take any day off in the week.

This would allow you to attend to personal matters such as dentist and doctor appointments. It would probably relieve alot more traffic congestion and in the end probably bring polution levels down.

People would have more family time, strengthenly the family and in turn strengthening the employee. I never work well when there is turmoil at one, one form or another.

It would allow me to complete more home projects and it would really be a bonus when you have a long weekend, i.e., four days off. Then, if you take only one day of vacation day, you can have up to five days off.

This would help my stress levels, less traffic and wasted gas, more energy and as you said, more productive at work, home and within the community.

As for what would I do with all that extra time off each week…yup, I would probably get a part time job….

Just kidding…made you smile though!

In the long run it would make me happier, my family happier and society in general happier. Remember, some say that the root cause of the fall of the Roman empire was the degradation of families and the family way of life.
