The Shorter Work Week Really Worked in Iceland

“Even as the Covid-19 pandemic forced companies around the world to reimagine the workplace, researchers in Iceland were already conducting two trials of a shorter work week that involved about 2,500 workers – more than 1% of the country’s working population,” Bloomberg reports.

“They found that the experiment was an ‘overwhelming success’ – workers were able to work less, get paid the same, while maintaining productivity and improving personal well-being.”
