Pass a Four-Day Workweek in Pennsylvania

I support the bill requiring large employers in Pennsylvania to institute a four-day workweek. I believe this is a much-needed change that would benefit workers, businesses, and the state. It can increase productivity, improve work-life balance for workers, and create a healthier Pennsylvania. It can also help companies in Pennsylvania attract and retain top talent nationally and internationally. The largest 4-day week trial that included 60 companies and 3,000 workers, 4 Day Week Global, yielded concrete proof of its benefits: “...almost every organization will stick to a 4 day week post-trial, with 91% definitely continuing or planning to continue... Companies rated their overall experience of the trials an average of 8.5/10, with business productivity and business performance each scoring 7.5/10. Revenue rose by 35% over the trial periods when compared to similar periods from the previous year, and hiring increased while absenteeism decreased. The health and well-being of employees also improved, with significant increases observed in physical and mental health, time spent exercising, and overall life and job satisfaction. Rates of stress, burnout and fatigue all fell, while problems with sleep declined.” A four-day workweek will benefit the state as a whole. Workers who are happier and healthier are more likely to be engaged in their communities and contribute to the economy. I urge you to support this bill, soon be introduced by Representative G. Roni Green, and make Pennsylvania a global leader for worker productivity, health, and happiness.
