'I would never go back': Why people love the 4-day workweek, which companies are hiring, and more

Summary
The article discusses the concept of a four-day workweek, which is being tested by some companies. The 100-80-100 model allows employees to work 32 hours over four days and get 100% of their pay if they accomplish 100% of their usual tasks. A recent trial involving nearly 3000 workers at 61 companies showed that a shorter workweek improved productivity, morale, and team culture. 92% of companies involved in the study said they planned to continue the four-day workweek. Some companies are already adopting this model and hiring for positions that offer a shorter workweek. However, the logistics of arranging this kind of flexibility for people in an array of roles could be tough for larger organizations.
