A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Hey!

So I work in the corporate office for an industrial manufacturing company. Our main operations site works 6 days a week.

I’m trying to put together a proposal for management to convince them to bring it down to a 5 day work week at minimum.

I have talked to them ad-nauseam about the intangible benefits, but now I need to point to something concrete.

I would love some resources highlighting with evidence the effects to things like productivity, mental health, attrition, and even the bottom line if possible.

Thanks a bunch! and fuck Reddit I guess?! Skye

I don't have any resources myself, but you can try googling for "studies that show how shorter working hours increase productivity".

Here's one: https://cepr.org/voxeu/columns/teams-become-more-productive-when-their-hours-are-shorter
