32-hour work weeks - whether four eight-hour days or five-day weeks with shorter days instead - can be effective for customers and employees.
TweetShareShare In May of 2017, my team and I at Wildbit started experimenting with a 32-hour, 4-day work week. Since then, we’ve extended the experiment indefinitely, and we’ve continued to see our productivity and quality of work improve along the way.
This means for the rest of us, our brains usually max out in even fewer hours. It led me to wonder if we really needed to work 40 hours every week, or if it were possible for us to learn to produce deep, meaningful work in less time. So, we decided to give a four-day work week a try. We also had to make some policy updates. We originally had 25 paid-time-off days per year. But having Fridays off each week added an additional 52 days off, which combined with PTO, totaled 15 weeks away from work each year. We ended up reducing PTO to 20 days, which feels far less scary, but still gives us five full weeks of PTO because we no longer have to use PTO days for Fridays.
One of the ways we were able to get the most out of our reduced hours, and as a result, feel more comfortable getting things done in a shortened work week, was by focusing our roles. We defined each role with its specific responsibilities, its focus areas, and how each of those things needed to be accomplished. With a clearer understanding of our roles, we could decide what needed to get done now, what would be important in the future, and then figure out where we should focus our limited time.
