This graph shows three stats, burnout, stress, and sleep difficulties. In the category burnout, we can see that it had a significant decrease which shows that employees are not getting as tired of their jobs and enjoy it more. We can see a similar situation in the stress category but we see a lot more in the no change section. In sleep difficulties, we can see that they are decreasing a lot and these only help the employees.
This graph relates back to a trial that was mentioned in the research paper. It shows that the study done proved beneficial for Microsoft. In this study we can see that productivity increased forty percent, the employees didn't take as much time off, they cut electricity costs by a quarter, they printed a lot less, and they spent more time working instead of just sitting in a meeting room. All of these are beneficial to the company and its employees and employers.
The image on the left shows 8 of the many positives of a four day workweek. The first thing it shows is how many companies adopted the new workweek after a trial that they were involved in. It also shows the turnover rate for employees. 72% of employees spent their time and were more satisfied. People volunteered more and had less sick days as well as there was less burnouts. Employees averaged one more more hour of sleep, and finally, companies saw an increase in profits and revenues.
