Several companies have reported positive economic and psychological impacts from reducing working days to four per week in Kuwait. This approach is gaining popularity in many countries around the world, as companies seek to improve work-life balance and increase employee satisfaction, reported Al-Rai daily.
One of the companies, a technology firm, reported that reducing working days increased employee productivity and motivation. The firm also reported lower absenteeism rates and less stress among employees.
Another company, a marketing agency, reported that the new working arrangement helped employees balance their personal and professional lives better. The agency also reported that the move led to better communication and collaboration among team members.
Several companies have stated that the four-day work week has also helped them attract and retain talent, as it is seen as a desirable benefit.
The Kuwaiti government has been encouraging companies to explore this approach as part of its efforts to modernize the country’s labor laws and promote work-life balance. The trend towards reduced working days is likely to continue, as more companies recognize the benefits of this approach.
