A pilot project of the four-day work week in Germany found that almost three quarters of participants aren’t returning to a five-day standard.
Some 73% of the 45 companies that participated in the six-month experiment will either fully implement the model or extend the trial, according to a report released Friday. Two large firms dropped out early due to “economic difficulties or lack of internal support.”
