Andrew had hoped that by gifting his employees one day a week that they would find ways to keep productivity levels the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was astounded at what actually happened: &#8220;We found that our team engagement scores went up 40%. Stress levels dropped 15%. What was critical was more people said they were better able to do their job working 4 days rather than 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The other key findings: we found that there&#8217;s an improvement in teamwork, readiness for change, and team creativity and performance. And, our productivity went up to 125% of our original productivity.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These results astounded Andrew, who admitted that he had &#8220;no idea&#8221; how, or indeed if, the trial would work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also caught the attention of businesses worldwide who saw the outcomes at Perpetual Guardian and wanted to replicate it in their workforce. Now global companies such as Volkswagen, Unilever and Panasonic, as well as smaller companies like us at Happy, have switched to, or are trialling, a four-day week.
