While a four-day workweek may feel like nothing more than a dream to employers and employees alike, over 900 workers across the U.S. and Ireland are now benefiting from a truncated work schedule.
Global fundraising platform Kickstarter was among 33 companies that conducted a six-month pilot from April through October of 2022, testing what a reduced workweek would look like for their workforce. Partnering with 4 Day Week Global, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping businesses move to a 32-hour workweek, Kickstarter worked to give its employees a three-day weekend, with most of its workers now only working Monday through Thursday.
