How a Shortened Work Week Can Improve Productivity
In this episode, Matt talks with Bryan Murdaugh at Fivable about going to a 4 day work week. Fivable adopted a rotating 4-day work week as an experiment back in May 2020.

After the 4 day work week implementation, in August 2020 Fivable was located in 4 states, 3 time zones, and just one or two members of their team will find their way into the office during the day. Fivable’s 4 day work week experiment worked well enough that they are still on that same schedule today. Fivable saw productivity in...
