Published: 31 July 2024

Nine out of 10 Canadians are interested in a four-day work week, , making it their most desirable benefit ahead of health care, flexible scheduling and additional vacation days.

Jean-Nicolas Reyt, Associate Professor of Organizational Behaviour, Desautels Faculty of Management  

“Canada should adopt a four-day work week to improve work-life balance, boost productivity, and increase employee retention. This model, which has seen success worldwide, provides environmental benefits and modernizes the outdated five-day schedule that no longer fits modern family dynamics. It's time for Canada to lead in creating a sustainable and thriving workforce.” 

Jean-Nicolas Reyt is an Associate Professor of Organizational Behaviour in the Desautels Faculty of Management. His research focuses on how distance, such as remote work, impacts important work outcomes.
