PASSAGE
A regional manufacturer tested a four-day workweek at one of its plants, but employees still worked forty hours by completing four ten-hour shifts. During the six-month pilot, production remained steady and unscheduled absences declined. Many employees valued having an additional weekday available for appointments and errands. However, some caregivers found the longer shifts difficult, and the plant occasionally lacked enough staff to process late-week shipping requests. Rather than declaring the pilot either a success or a failure, managers revised it. In the next phase, employees could choose between the original schedule and the compressed schedule, while teams staggered their days off to maintain shipping coverage. Managers also began tracking employee turnover and equipment errors, reasoning that short-term production figures alone could not reveal whether the schedule was sustainable.
