?? Improved Employee Well-being The reduced workweek led to lower attrition and sickness rates, highlighting the positive impact on employee health and retention.

?? Operational Success The bank saw increased operational efficiency and secured its first-ever profit, demonstrating the financial viability of a four-day workweek.

?? Enhanced Flexibility Employees are free to work from anywhere, fostering a flexible and supportive work environment without mandatory office days, in stark contrast to the rigid hybrid models in other banks. We're now building use cases in the legal profession.
