Companies around the world that have cut their work week have found that it leads to higher productivity, more motivated staff and less burnout, according to a report.

Even in Japan, the government is encouraging companies to allow Monday mornings off. Around the globe, there has been a growing backlash against overwork as people realise that mental health issues can arise from being constantly connected to their jobs.

Until not-so-long-ago, many Singapore organisations required workers to come in 5.5 days a week.

Do you think that cutting the work week to four days (whilst maintaining wages) will make you a more productive worker? Have your say in our poll and leave a comment below.
