๐ผ๐ฟ๐งโโ๏ธCould a shorter workweek improve our health, increase company productivity and help us meet environmental targets?
๐ชงThe traditional five-day workweek came about in the early 20th century when unions advocated reducing the six-day workweek. In a move towards a healthier, more sustainable work-life balance that can meet modern society's needs, organisations like @4dayweek_global are now advocating for a shorter work week.
๐ฎ๐ชDr Orla Kelly @UCDSocialPWJ led the Irish component of the first @4dayweek_global coordinated international trial. Companies offered employees 100% of their pay for 80% of their time, with the proviso they continue to achieve 100% of organisational goals.
The research demonstrated that worktime reduction not only benefits employees, but the companies as well. It found that the four-day week resulted in a significant increase in physical and mental health, life satisfaction and work-life balance, with reduced sleep problems, anxiety, burnout and carbon footprint.
This project was a finalist in the 2023 UCD Research Impact Case Study Competition, read more: ucd.ie/research/impact/casesโฆ

It was a pleasure to host an Oireachtas Briefing earlier today with @4DayWeekIreland & @4dayweek_global.
The briefing highlighted the experience of Irish companies that have implemented a reduced working week in their workplaces.

These good people are out in the rain in Dublin today, fighting for a safer, more just future for all.
Next time, maybe come join in? We all need to make voices heard on the #ClimateCrisis
Exciting to see such momentum behind this movement. And gratifying to see our research having real impact and reach @JulietSchor @Autonomy_UK @4dayweek_global @ucddublin
With exploding technology and increased worker productivity, itโs time to move toward a four-day work week with no loss of pay. Workers must benefit from technology, not just corporate CEOs.

Watch back the #UCDinConversation with David Donoghue, @OrlamKelly and @ppwone on achieving the #UNSDGs.
With the 2030 deadline looming, are we on schedule to succeed in their implementation? What role will Ireland play in their development and adoption?
