The four-day workweek is driven by flexible work arrangements and concern for burnout and empowerment of employees in a tight labor market. Kickstarter, Shake Shack and Unilever’s New Zealand unit are other workplaces that have adopted the four-day workweek or announced plans to begin. An experiment in Iceland also showed that the schedule improves worker well-being and does not reduce overall output. Four-day workweeks have been discussed many times over the years. Richard Nixon, then vice president in 1956 predicted a four-day workweek in the “not too distant future.” So did President Jimmy Carter in 1977 when he said a four-day workweek would conserve energy amid the oil crisis, and considered urging companies to adopt it.
