348 Companies That Work 4 Days Per Week (September 2024)

During the Industrial Revolution, factory workers logged 80-100 hours per week. But in 1926, Henry Ford popularized the 40-hour work week after he found that working more barely yielded an increase in productivity. It was a breakthrough in how we work. But it was also nearly one hundred years ago.

Just like how Henry Ford implemented the five-day work, today’s visionary companies have implemented four-day work weeks for better work-life balance and higher productivity.
