A four-day working week is being explored by several companies in the private sector, since a shorter week has obvious economic benefits for companies and psychological benefits for workers.

It is becoming more popular in many countries around the world to reduce workdays to four per week in order to improve employee satisfaction and improve work-life balance.

Recently, a Kuwaiti technology company said it had increased employee productivity and motivation by reducing work days. There was also a decrease in absenteeism and less stress among employees at the company. Similarly, a marketing agency reported that the new working arrangement helped employees balance their personal and professional lives better. The agency also reported that the move led to better communication and collaboration among team members.

Several companies have stated that the four-day work week has also helped them attract and retain talent, as it is seen as a desirable benefit by potential employees.

In an effort to modernize Kuwait's labor laws and promote work-life balance, the government has encouraged companies to explore this approach. More companies are recognizing the benefits of reduced working days, so this trend is likely to continue.
