A year ago, on May 1, 2023, coaching company Exos decided to put 4-day workweeks to the test. Instead of calling Fridays “off days”, Exos dubbed them “you do you” days, encouraging employees to spend them doing whatever they saw fit.

For some, that meant spending time with family or taking up a hobby; for others, it meant preparing for an upcoming meeting or presentation. There was just one rule that employees had to follow: not interacting with any colleagues. 🙅

Fast-forward to 2024, Exos has published the results from the initial 6 months of its 4-day workweek pilot program, which, in fact, is still being implemented.

Among other findings, 9 in 10 employees report spending their time at the office more efficiently; meanwhile, voluntary turnover at the company has significantly dropped!
