![]() ![]() ![]() Past research has explored the benefits of a four-day workweek. That’s insightful feedback for a consulting firm in an industry infamous for high burnout, although Bina noted that the firm employs different strategies to address stress, like not holding staff to KPIs based on billable time. “The people on the four-day work week said, ‘The amount of stress that has been taken off from me having that Friday ,’” Bina told Fortune’s Ellie Austin during a panel at the Most Powerful Women Summit last week. Based on employee feedback, the firm’s leadership learned that the four-day workweek group was reporting far lower stress levels. The firm first conducted an experiment where one group of employees worked fully remotely, another hybrid, and a third group worked four days. The firm didn’t land on this number arbitrarily it listened to employees, says Shideh Sedgh Bina, a founding partner at Insigniam. Management consulting firm Insigniam has seemingly found that happy medium after instituting a 4.5-day workweek, with employees in the office Monday through Wednesday and working from home Thursday and Friday. Companies are still trying to find the return-to-office sweet spot, whether offering hybrid arrangements, flexible work schedules, or a four-day workweek. ![]()
