With a number of companies across the world proposing 4-day workweek for employees, a report has revealed that a majority of employers in India strongly agree that this model will help in reducing stress level.

Over 60 per cent of the employers strongly agree that the new four-day workweek model will be successful in lifting the overall morale of the organisation with job satisfaction and work-life balance, helping to reduce stress and anxiety levels, a report by HR Solutions Genius Consultants said. However, 27 per cent of the employers said they were not sure of its implications on organisation’s productivity.

The remaining 11 per cent disagreed with the notion, arguing that the model would neither improve nor yield any drastic positive results.

The report is based on a survey conducted online among 1,113 employers and employees between February 1 and March 7 across sectors, including banking and finance, construction and engineering, education, FMCG, hospitality, HR solutions, IT, ITES and BPO, logistics, manufacturing, media, oil and gas.
