Work ethic: Do you think a 4-day work week will bring efficiency?

I just read that Poland wants to launch a pilot project of a 4-day work week from January 2026 (although a 4-hour work week would sound better). 😅

I want to ask if any of you in your company have tried this concept of a shorter work week, and how it has affected the results of your employees and the company?

In my country (Slovakia), most of the time we have 5 days a week (8 working hours), and home office is a privilege. I personally see it as a very expensive way of functioning at work, especially when unpaid travel is a waste of time and money. So I am pretty lucky to be remote because I can dedicate time to work instead of travelling and am more focused.

A 4-day week often pushes teams to prioritize better, cut fluff, and deliver the same (or more) in fewer hours. Companies that tested it report higher focus and morale, though it depends on culture and industry. Remote-first setups like Growstack already show how flexibility can drive efficiency.
