Urges pilot programs to be established to promote, incentivize, and support the use of a 4-day workweek by qualifying employers and to study the benefits and effects of a 4-day workweek on participating employees and employers and to promote and support the use of a 4-day workweek for employees of the State of Illinois.
AI Summary
This resolution urges the State of Illinois to invest in its workplaces to reduce employee burnout and boost happiness, acknowledging that increased productivity in the United States should lead to shorter workweeks for everyone. It specifically calls for the establishment of pilot programs to encourage, incentivize, and support businesses that adopt a 4-day workweek, while also studying its impact on both employees and employers. Furthermore, the resolution advocates for the implementation of a 4-day workweek for state employees themselves. The context for this resolution is the recognition that despite significant productivity gains since 1950, working hours have not decreased, leading to widespread burnout, and that trials of a 4-day, 32-hour workweek without a pay cut have shown positive results for businesses and workers alike, including improved revenue, reduced turnover, and better work-life balance.
