Concept / in development. There are no active pilots or results yet.

Work4Days

We do not promote one calendar model for every organisation. We test when and how a better use of time produces better outcomes.

Why time

Working time is institutional design. It shapes when people can concentrate, learn, provide care, recover and participate in civic life. Reducing days without redesigning processes may simply compress workload. We therefore study the entire work model.

Hypothesis

When an organisation removes low-value work, improves coordination and protects recovery time, a shorter week may combine sustainable performance with better job quality.

What a pilot includes

Baseline diagnosis; co-design; a clearly defined model; safeguards against intensification; indicators for performance, workload, absence, learning and quality; interim review; and a decision to continue, adapt or stop.

What it does not promise

We do not promise the same result in every sector. We do not certify an organisation as a “good employer”. We do not use satisfaction as the sole criterion.

Public value

Aggregated findings are published and contribute to policy on working time, job quality and the distribution of productivity gains.
