Four-day, 32 Hour Workweek Allows Exceptional Work/Life Balance at New Zealand Company

Perpetual Guardian in New Zealand, had a trial shorter workweek (with the same pay) in their company and it was a huge success!

According to an article in The Guardian, "Perpetual Guardian founder Andrew Barnes came up with the idea in an attempt to give his employees better work-life balance, and help them focus on the business while in the office on company time, and manage life and home commitments on their extra day off."

According to CBN News at CBN.com, "American adults are already known as the hardest working in the world, working an average 47 hours per week. That's much higher than other western countries like Denmark (28), France (28), Netherlands (27), Norway (27), and Germany (26)."

Even if Americans work only four days a week, they are working 10+ hours per day. How can any human stand to work that many hours in one day? In my opinion, even eight hours per day is too much.
