Microsoft isn't the first to highlight the benefits that a four-day work week can have on productivity. Andrew Barnes, the founder of a New Zealand-based estate planning firm Perpetual Garden, said he conducted a similar experiment and found that it benefited both employees and the company, according to CNBC. The company has now adopted the four-day work week permanently. It's not just the employees that benefited from Microsoft's four-day work week experiment. The project found that it also helped Microsoft preserve electricity and office resources as well. The number of pages printed decreased by 58.7%, while electricity consumption was down by 23.1% compared to August 2018.
