4 Day Week Global Newsletter
July 2023
Hi there
We hope this newsletter finds you well. It’s been an exciting month for us here at 4 Day Week Global. As you may have seen, we were recently named a TIME100 Most Influential Company! As a team of just 10 people, we’re beyond proud to have been recognized amongst some of the world’s greatest organizations for our efforts in creating a more sustainable, healthier and productive society for all.
Speaking of which — the signup deadline for our pilot programs in Australasia and Ireland is fast approaching. If you’re interested in participating, please be sure to submit your application by July 14th and don’t hesitate to reach out to program@4dayweek.com with any queries in the meantime. Congratulations to all who’ve joined so far, we can’t wait to get your trials underway. Check out the pilot page on our website for more information!
Recruitment in Brazil is still underway and for anyone in the US interested in a 4 day week, we have numerous information sessions lined up just for you. Come along and see what joining our pilot could look like for your business, asking our experts any questions you may have.
Finally, be sure to mark July 26th in your calendars. In just over three weeks, we’ll be releasing new data from 4 day week pilot companies in the US and Canada. Our research to date has proven that shifting your organization’s focus from time spent at work to actual outputs can have a revolutionary impact, and we look forward to further underscoring that evidence with these results.
Thank you for your continued support and interest in our work. We look forward to sharing more updates with you next month.
All the best,
The 4 Day Week Global team

The young ones these days don’t want to work hard!

In the news
In case you missed it (though we’re not sure how…) 4 Day Week Global was named a TIME100 Most Influential Company for 2023. This article gives a nice insight into how we got here, highlighting the great work of our co-founder, Andrew Barnes.
The 4 day week is clearly going mainstream, with the likes of Samsung now trialling reduced hours and Portugal running a government-sponsored pilot.
And why wouldn’t they? With research such as this Stanford study debunking any correlation between working long hours and being highly productive, it’s a no-brainer! People are also much happier when they work less, as Juliet Schor explained on MSNBC’s ‘The Beat.’
