How to pronounce "applicant"

The four-day week can benefit workers, companies and society.

The research shows that people are less stressed,

value their jobs more and have  better lives outside of work.

In most cases, they are as productive

in four days as they are in five.

The secret sauce is work reorganization,

cutting out the least productive activities.

Meetings are a prime target.

Companies can also see benefits

through lower turnover

and a higher-quality applicant pool.

The four-day week is a down payment

on a new way  to live and work.

And yes, we're going to need government help

if we're going to move beyond the innovative companies

that already see its virtues.

But as the three-day weekend spreads, we can realize

everyone deserves a right to free time.
