Work 4 Days Instead of 5

Work Four Days a Week

The new era of Work means flexible companies will retain the great talent. How will you as a business get there without wrecking the place? 

More Complicated Than Subtracting One

How does a shift to a four-day work week affect hours and benefits and coverage? Don’t get caught in a bad spot, let us help you craft that plan. 

An Overall Approach to Complete Transformation

A four-day week can be packaged along with other benefits and changes to work style that have been scientifically proven to increase productivity and the bottom line.  

Four is Just the First Step

Moving to a four-day week is one of many strategies firms are using to retain their bedrock talent and attract new ideas. We can also help with global experience in remote work, fractional positions, policy and digital transformation.  

High-end Talent is 46% More Likely to Accept an Offer at a Firm That has a 4 Day Work Week

It’s frequently considered counterintuitive (or just crazy) to think reducing days per week can increase productivity, retention, or profit. But study after study confirms that — done right — the four day work week is a major improvement from both an Employee Experience (EX) and bottom line (P&L) points of view. 

Doing it right however, involves setting the right metrics and getting the right buy-in from your organization. Fortunately, we’re experts in the conversion and understand the productivity, human resources, payroll, benefit, coverage, and cultural roadblocks that can derail the process.

The Process

Honest Discovery and Level Setting

Every company starts in a different place so it must be understood where the culture, policies, and priorities are at.  

Multi-Department Agreement and Plan

Work week changes touch every department, so a detailed runbook is developed to do pilot transitions, begin policy change controls, install instrumentation, and guide the culture to the new work style. 

Ratified Metrics that Measure Success Live

Most importantly, everyone must agree on a set of metrics, preferably viewable live, that show how well the move is working. Are the milestones being reached? Is productivity up? Do adjustments need to be made? 

Iterate

Each metric period, the plan is iterated and adjusted to include a wider rollout, more fine-tuning, and reinforcement.

“We would have never considered a move to a four day week without some seriously professional guidance, and Five 2 Four has delivered.”

A New England Insurance Company

"Five 2 Four spent time considering the impact on culture and the intangibles, rather than just handing over a revised Employee Handbook. It was a truly holistic approach."

Mid-Atlantic Environmental Services Firm

"We were terrified until we saw the metrics start to improve almost immediately, and continued above our historical performance. This was accompanied by a huge boost in morale, and we were able to attract a number of key hires that straight-up said the four-day benefit was the determining factor in taking a job with us."
