Dominican Republic to trial four-day work week: Can it work globally?
Al JazeeraIt’s the first Caribbean country to trial such a move, amid a growing global call for such shifts. In February, the Dominican Republic will become the first Caribbean nation to test a four-day work week, following similar trials in countries such as the United Kingdom. What is the Dominican Republic’s four-day work week trial? Several countries around the world have tested or legislated a four-day work week, particularly since COVID-19, which reignited conversations around workplace flexibility, productivity, and work-life balance. In Japan, where death by overwork killed close to 3,000 people in 2022, larger companies such as Microsoft have tested the four-day work week and found positive results.
