South Africa’s trial of a fourday work week approach was a success, with businesses reporting increased sales, employee retention, and improved worklife balance, mental health, and productivity. The trial was the first of its kind in a developing country and had positive implications for both employers and employees. Over 92% of businesses involved are either planning to continue or contemplating the adoption of the fourday work week. This pioneering initiative could signal a significant shift in our approach to work and productivity globally.
