Additionally, 96 percent of respondents in favor of a 4-day work week say it would ‘somewhat’ or ‘vastly’ improve their work-life balance. Eighty-eight percent of those in favor also say it would ‘somewhat’ or ‘vastly’ improve their productivity at work.
“It’s very clear that workers are enthusiastic about a 4-day work week, and this could be an alternative for organizations to give workers more work/life balance, rather than instituting remote or hybrid work schedules if that does not fit with their culture,” comments Chief Career Advisor Stacie Haller. “Companies requiring in-person work are missing out on employees who only want remote/hybrid work, so a 4-day work week could be a good compromise that allows companies to attract more qualified applicants.”
However, 6 percent of respondents say they would be ‘not very’ or ‘not at all’ enthusiastic about switching to a 4-day schedule. Assuming their job responsibilities remain the same, 46 percent of respondents believe they would need to work over 9 hours per day on a 4-day work schedule.
This online poll was commissioned by ResumeBuilder.com and conducted via Pollfish from August 2 to 5, 2023. Respondents consist of a national sample of 1,000 full-time office workers who do not work a 4-day week, are between the ages of 22 and 65, are employed for wages, have a household income of at least $25,000 per year, and work at a company with six or more employees.
