I think there is something worth digging in to on this point. These trials are showing that after lowering hours, productivity went up to at least match or exceed previous values.
So the question is raised, what is the optimal amount of time to produce maximum results? If -1 day was an improvement, is -2 days even more of an improvement? Is -0.5 days less of an improvement? What if we rearange this, are less week days but longer days better? Or are shorter days with more week days better?
As well as how long can this be sustained? Workers must be working more and using their time better than before. Is this entirely due to having more free time or is it partially due to the novelty of lower times which will wear off?
I'm all for investigating lower work weeks but I don't think we have really collected all of the info yet. Let the trials continue!
