Opinion: More days off? Time to consider new ways of working

It is holiday time around the country. As I write, we have the special public holiday for the late Queen on Thursday. If you live in Victoria, you get the Friday off too, and then for many there are school holidays. This meant, that for the majority we had a four-day week at most. Which, according to recent research might point to increased productivity.

Overall, the vast majority of responding organisations indicated that at this point in the trial, they are positively disposed to retaining the four-day week permanently. The results have since been subject to multiple different interpretations, including that those being studied want to please their observers, or possibly the enhanced feedback afforded by a study is motivational. In short, one must always be careful and cautious when attributing positive changes at work to interventions that preceded the changes. As is so frequently the case, things are generally more complex.
