Description
Abstract: The four-day workweek is a growing trend in the global workplace and many companies are trying with this new model of work. India is exploring to implement a four-day workweek and this study aims to analyse the opinion of employees across different IT companies for this concept and its impact on organisational productivity. A structured questionnaire was made and a survey was conducted among 174 IT employees to assess their opinion and views on the four-day workweek concept. The survey results showed that a majority of employees would be supportive with the most common reasons being increased work-life balance, improved productivity, and reduced stress levels. Overall, the survey results suggest that there is a strong level of support and acceptance for this concept among IT employees. However, there are also some potential challenges which have to be addressed before such a move can be implemented successfully.
