At least 2 other things to think about when reading workplace experiments like this:
1) Hawthorne Effect when workers are aware of being observed in response to a novel change: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawthorne_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawthorne_effect
2) Difficulty and disagreement in measuring the success of a change: E.g. France has had 20+ years of the 35-hour work week and there's still debate on whether it was successful. : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/35-hour_workweek#Criticism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/35-hour_workweek#Criticism
