The four-day working week could be the way of the future as one Australian company expands its world-leading trial to 500 employees.
Medibank is offering “100 per cent of the pay for 80 per cent of the time for 100 per cent of the output”, according to chief customer officer Milosh Milisavljevic.
“People are happier, healthier and more productive, which is great,” Milisavljevic said
Trial participant Nathan Crothers and his team are some of the 250 employees involved in the initial experiment.
“When you walk in on a Monday, you actually feel really refreshed, really engaged and set up for a really successful week,” Crothers said.
Across the six-month trial the company found overall health improved by 16 per cent, work life balance improved by more than than 30 per cent, and sleep improved by 30 per cent.
