More and more countries, companies, and employees are starting to rethink what productivity and a healthy work-life balance should look like.​This novel 4-day workweek follows a “100-80-100” model. It means workers get 100% of their pay, 80% of the time, while still getting their work done at 100% efficiency. It is being led by a group called ‘4 Day Week Global’, which started off as a major campaign in Germany in late 2023, and has already seen success in places like Spain, Portugal, and the UK.​Even some of the happiest countries in the world like Iceland, Denmark, and the Netherlands are leading this change.
