US Company Reports 160% Revenue Growth After Adopting Four-Day Workweek
Brick Media, a Tampa-based social media agency, adopted a four-day workweek in January 2023, allowing employees Fridays off without salary reductions. After a 90-day trial, the schedule became permanent, with employees working 36 hours over four nine-hour days. Over three years, the company reported approximately 160% revenue growth and reduced voluntary resignations. While payroll costs rose, profit margins remained stable. The policy also supports remote work and hiring additional staff to manage workloads, contributing to improved employee retention and business performance.
