[–] klemptor@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago (3 children) How does it make the company 20% more money? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] NooBoY@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago The idea being that you are more productive and more focused because you are more rested. permalink fedilink source parent [–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 year ago It's probably tnaked to a decrease in stupid preventable mistakes. Most companies aren't able to count the costs of stupid preventable mistakes. 20% is the number I've seen, but it's low because of hard to measure factors. The companies that do understand the costs of stupid preventable mistakes usually go in a "work life balance" binge to improve their own bottom line. permalink fedilink source parent [–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago* No clue. I got that number from articles about multiple pilot runs. Well, honestly, it depends; on the company structure and what they do. A minority of companies made a bit less. But on average in the range 10% to 20% more. Guesses are, because not much happens at friday anyway and employees are less tired on monday. 4 days workweek just seems to hit a better balance. permalink fedilink source parent
