With many companies around the world exploring the implementation of the 4-day work week, new research into the health benefits associated with vacation seems to support a move in this direction, according to the New Atlas, citing the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity Remote working periods during the COVID-19 pandemic have revealed that a flexible workplace is a possible reality, reigniting the debate over implementing a four-day work week.

Model 100-80-100
Most four-day workweeks follow the 100-80-100 model, where employees receive 100% of their paychecks 80% of the time for 100% productivity, in other words, they do the same amount of work for the same pay and benefits in four days instead of five Advocates of this system argue that four days a week increases employee productivity and satisfaction.
Before, during and after the holidays
In the current study, the researchers used data from the Annual Rhythms in Adult Lifestyle and Health ARIA Study, which collected the 24-hour daily movement behaviors of 308 Australian adults over a 13-month period. They used the data to look at objective changes in participants’ movement behaviors before, during, and after. holidays, something that previous studies did not do.

The most common type of vacation was “outdoor recreation” 35%, followed by “family and social events” 31%, and then “rest and relaxation.” 17% and “non-recreational activities” 17%, which included caring for others or making home renovations.

Vacationers 13% engage in moderate to vigorous physical activity every day, which equates to an extra five minutes a day. They were stable by 5%, which equated to 29 minutes less each day, and they slept 4% more, with about 21 minutes more. The changes were most noticeable with holidays from four days to two weeks.
usual schedule
“When people go on holiday, they change their daily responsibilities because they are not constrained by their usual schedule, and interestingly, the magnitude of these changes increased in line with the length of the holiday – so the longer the vacation, the better the health benefits,” the researchers say, explaining that sleep time Extra is especially important for health.

For example, good sleep can help improve mood, cognitive functions, and productivity, and it can also help reduce the risk of developing a range of conditions.” health conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and depression.
Data from 6 countries

Data from the UK experience showed that 71% of workers had reduced levels of burnout, 43% improved mental health and 73% reported feeling more satisfied with how they spend their time.
