The program, launching next quarter, is based on successful pilot programs showing increased productivity and employee satisfaction. CEO Andy Jassy stated that employees actually accomplished more in four focused days than five traditional days. The move puts pressure on other tech companies to follow suit, with Microsoft and Google reportedly considering similar programs.
