A 4-day work week on 100% pay has become a reality at some small businesses in Switzerland, reports RTS. However, Gudela Grote, a professor of psychology at ETHZ university in Zurich is less convinced by 4-day weeks. If large companies were to shift from 5- to 4-day weeks it could increase stress and lead to significant overtime, she thinks. A 4-day week might work in sectors when short bursts of creative output can deliver more than long hours of hard slog. A 4-day week on 80% pay would resolve the economic contradiction.
