In an ever-changing professional world, companies are constantly seeking to improve their employees’ quality of working life while maintaining operational efficiency.
With this in mind, the four-day week is emerging as a promising solution, offering a balance between productivity and worker well-being.

This organization of working hours has already been tested and adopted by a number of European countries, including Iceland, Scotland, Belgium and Spain.
As for the UK, after two years of trials, the four-day week has won over even the administration.
In France, more than three-quarters of working people (77%) say they are prepared to concentrate their weekly working time over 4 days*.
What’s more, since September¹, the 9,600-strong Lyon metropolitan authority has been experimenting with a 4-day week.
300 volunteers and almost all departments are involved.
Initial feedback has been very positive.

What aspects need to be taken into account, particularly in terms of human resources management?
The introduction of a four-day week in the workplace represents a complex challenge, but also an opportunity to rethink traditional ways of working to better meet the needs of employees and the performance imperatives of companies.
