New Week, New Headlines: 4-Day Work Week Totally Works & We're In a Productivity Boom Ya'll

Your Work Friends

Welcome to the last week of February, Friends!
There were two news stories this week that give us hope (like, a lot of hope) for the future. Check it out:
Topic 1: The 4-Day Work Week Totally Works
We've got the latest scoop on a landmark study analyzing the UK's four-day work week pilot, which could signal a sea change for how we approach the grind. We reviewed Autonomy's study of "Making it Stick: The UK Four-Day Work Pilot. Year One". The data's painting a picture of a win-win: energized employees and robust organizational growth. Is it here to stick?
Topic 2: We're in a Productivity Boom, Ya'll!
1994 was the last time the US experienced a productivity boom - increasing the economic pie and changing how work worked. Are we here again? We check out the New York Times article that questions if the quarter-over-quarter productivity increases are putting us in another productivity boom.
