"We can see clear benefits in terms of productivity, engagement, and effectiveness"
What if you could achieve competitive advantage for your business at no cost by:
- making it easier to attract top talent
- creating time and space to do better work
- reducing burnout and staff churn
95% of businesses that piloted a shorter work week have now made it permanent because of results like these.
They know that success depends on the quality of their people not the quantity of hours that they work.
"We have been blown away by the commercial impact of the transition to a productivity based model"
Shared benefit: A productivity bargain
The secret sauce: achieving more output in fewer hours requires productivity gains...and a shorter work week incentivises employees to find those gains.
This is what we call a productivity bargain. This means:
- Employees must deliver the same or greater output regardless of the hours worked
- The business offers time back to employees if they deliver the output.
The constraint of a shorter work week is an enabler of productivity gains.
Effective implementation matters
The Productivity Bargain change management program is a systematic approach to a stress free shorter work week pilot while maintaining business outcomes.
In 6 video-based modules it walks leaders and their teams through how to:
- Get buy in to the initiative
- Identify productivity opportunities and solutions
- Set clear parameters for performance measurement
"The most significant shift has been cultural - greater awareness and intention around how we use our time"

What Our Clients Say
We have been blown away by the commercial impact of the transition to an outcome and productivity based model versus the traditional model. We have not only met but exceeded the original revenue targets, but incentivising the team to think innovatively has allowed us to become market leaders.
The focus on outcomes has led to more efficient and effective project execution, higher client satisfaction, and repeat business, all contributing to increased revenue streams.
The outcome-based model has fostered a sense of ownership and accountability among team members. Everyone is more engaged and motivated to contribute to the team’s success.

Recognising the constraints of working in a large public sector department, we weren’t able to implement a four-day work week. Instead, we launched our Sustainable Work Practices initiative, which resonated strongly with the team and provided a structured approach to making lasting improvements.
While our metrics are different from those of a for-profit organisation, we can see clear benefits in terms of productivity, engagement, and effectiveness.
The framework and modules provided by Productivity Bargain gave us a structured yet flexible approach to designing meaningful change.

Shorter Work Week Starter Pack
A high level program to equip you to design and implement a shorter work week on your own.
The Productivity Bargain helped me be more intentional about my schedule and pricing, and gave me the impetus to make a distinct change despite being afraid that I’d lose income or clients.
In addition to the 4 day work week I also decided to take 60 vacation days and sales have not dropped. Really grateful for your advice and help through this journey.
