If you’re ready to experiment with a four-day workweek, it may be best to ease yourself into it. Here’s how:
Instead of jumping right in and declaring every Friday a free day off, try taking baby steps. Sophomore, a Toronto-based marketing and production agency, took a phased approach by introducing a “no meetings on Friday” policy. Then, they moved to taking every other Friday off, with a goal of reaching a four-day workweek a few months down the line. By taking it slow, they were able to find any challenges that came up, at a reasonable pace.
