一周只工作四天怎么样

Who wouldn't love a four-day workweek?

一周只工作四天谁会不喜欢呢？

Workers at software and data engineering company Elephant Ventures are about to find out what it's like to have three-day weekends every week.

软件和数据工程公司大象风投公司的员工们就即将体验到每周有三天的周末是什么感觉。

Art Shectman, the president of the company, told me employees were struggling with work-life balance since the pandemic hit.

公司总统的阿特·谢特曼告诉我，自疫情爆发以来，员工们一直在努力平衡工作与生活。

Morale was also suffering when employees started working remotely and some of the office culture was lost.

当员工开始远程办公时，士气也受到了影响，办公室文化也有所损失。

But he noticed a change after the long Fourth of July weekend.

但在7月4日漫长的周末过后，他注意到了一个变化。

"Everyone came back refreshed," Shectman said.

“每个人回来后都焕然一新。”谢克曼说道。

"You could feel it in company morale. Everyone was more productive and engaged."

“你可以从公司的士气中感受到。每个人都更有效率，更投入了。”

So he decided to switch the team to a condensed, four-day workweek.

因此，他决定将团队的工作时间改为每周四天。

The idea is to work 10-hour days Monday through Thursday, with Fridays off.

周一到周四每天工作10个小时，周五开始休息。

The shortened schedule starts this week and may last through September, or longer if it's successful.

缩短的计划从本周开始，可能会持续到9月，如果成功的话，可能会持续更长的时间。

A condensed four-day workweek isn't a new concept.

其实，四天工作周并不是什么新概念。

Companies sometimes implement them as a way to attract talent or increase productivity.

公司有时会将其作为吸引人才或提高生产率的一种方式。

When Microsoft tried a shorter workweek in Japan last August, it found productivity went up by almost 40% compared to the same period in 2018.

去年8月，当微软在日本尝试缩短每周工作时间时，它发现与2018年同期相比，工作效率提高了近40%。

Shectman might take the idea one step further.

谢克曼可能会把这个想法进一步推进。

"Depending on finances and customer satisfaction, we might consider reducing the workday one hour in October," Shectman said.

她说:“根据财务状况和客户满意度，我们可能会考虑在10月份将工作日缩短一小时。
