Researchers examined companies using the “100:80:100” model, where employees receive full pay for reduced hours while maintaining productivity. Participants reported benefits in both work and personal life. The research examined early adopters of the four-day workweek model across Australian companies through interviews with decision-makers.

The research examined early adopters of the four-day workweek model across Australian companies through interviews with decision-makers. The study found successful implementation depended on clear planning, communication and management support. Researchers found that a 25 percent increase in hourly productivity was not required to maintain performance levels, while clearly defined work-life boundaries contributed to lower burnout and improved employee well-being.
