If you were given the option of working just four days a week instead of five it'd be safe for us to assume you'd take the four-day work week. But would your company be on board with that plan? 

If the company tried it, it just might. A trial is going on right now at 33 companies in the U.S. and Ireland that has them switching to a four-day work week. The results after six months show just about every worker and company love it. The companies responding to a survey rated their overall experience 9 out of 10, based on productivity and performance. With us now is Jon Leland, chief strategy officer for Kickstarter, a crowdfunding site participating in the trial.
