For working parents and<br />mental health conscious millennials,<br />a four-day work week is an appealing option. <br />A four-day work week can<br />still mean working 40 hours a week. <br />Switching from 8 hours a day to 10 hours<br />allows for employees to choose a day off, whether that be Wednesday for a mid-week break or Friday to avoid heavy traffic congestion. Psychologist Adam Grant from Wharton School in Pennsylvania has conducted multiple experiments on the subject. <br />Grant also found that flexible hours<br />created a more loyal work relationship, as employees appreciated their employer’s<br />consideration for their lives outside of work. <br />Historian Rutger Bregman pointed<br />out that the idea of a shorter work week<br />isn’t a radical new concept.
