Companies With the 4-Day Work Week Hiring Now

The four-day work week is a moment in time.

Several recent studies, including one that followed nearly 3,000 workers in the UK, found that when companies instituted a four-day workweek workers’ productivity, health, relationships and even finances improved. Representative Mark Takano of California also recently reintroduced the 32-Hour Workweek Act in Congress, which would replace the definition of the workweek with 40 hours now.

“While the concept of the four-day work week isn’t brand new, it can’t be denied that there’s huge momentum and interest in this model,” says Doug Ebertowski, career expert at FlexJobs. He says the idea is gaining traction, and “combined with the fact that employers have become more creative in their approach to attracting great workers, it could mean we’re here to stay.” You can see the work week.

Whatever the future holds for the trend to become the norm, some companies are implementing it as their go-to schedule right now. FlexJobs, which focuses on remote and flexible roles, has identified a number of companies that plan to adopt the shorter work week. And they’re hiring. Here are 11 of those companies, including some of their open roles.

As far as trends on the list go, “they’re primarily nonprofits and tech companies,” says Yolanda Owens, career expert at The Muse. With the exception of Panasonic, they are also small companies, “mainly fewer than 1,000 employees,” she says.

“With smaller organizations, adopting a four-day work week makes sense because it’s easier to lay the parameters around,” she says. “I think it’s going to be a little more difficult for larger organizations to do just because of the scope and scale.” She says arranging for that kind of flexibility can be difficult for people in a range of roles.

“I don’t think you’re going to see any Amazon adopting this anytime soon.”
