Greetings comms pros! Let’s look at some news stories from the last week and see what we can learn from them.

1. Global 4-day week pilot was a huge success, organizers say

After a six-month trial run, the results are in. According to the data, a four-day workweek isn’t just good for employees – it’s good for business too. Could this be the start of a burgeoning trend?

CNN reports:

The majority of companies taking part in the trial were based in the United States and Ireland. Those responding to the survey rated their overall experience 9 out of 10, based on productivity and performance.

Workers were equally positive about the trial, reporting lower levels of stress, fatigue, insomnia and burnout, and improvements in physical and mental health.

The trial was also good for company earnings. Average revenue rose 38% when compared to the same period last year, according to the survey.
