Work Less, Do More

The 4-day week is no longer just an idea. Following successful trials in countries as far apart as New Zealand and the United Kingdom, research now shows that a shorter workweek benefits both companies and employees. Participating firms see a dramatic decline in sick days, their people are happier, more engaged, eat and sleep better and have more time for their families and exercise. But beyond the employee benefits, companies working shorter weeks also report improved communication and collaboration, improvements in recruitment and retention, and a rise in productivity. So what are you waiting for? Work Less, Do More offers a practical framework for making a 4-day week a reality in your business, whatever its sector and size. Expert Alex Pang helps you identify the best pattern for your company, assemble a team, define what success looks like, think through worst-case scenarios, redesign the workday, prepare for any difficulties, and finally put your plan into action. So, whether you are a founder who wants to make the 4-day week a reality, an employee who needs to make the case for a shorter work pattern to the board, or a manager who wonders whether this could give your team an extra edge, this is the only book you need to make the 4-day week work for you.
