If productivity is plummeting in the workplace, the solution might be simple: Make the work week shorter.
One company did just that by experimenting with a four-day workweek. The trial was so successful, management is seeking to make the change permanent.
It also found an increased level of teamwork and collaboration (“employees describe how they felt a mutual willingness to ‘help each other out,’” reads the report).
