SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, 100Percent, an award-winning outdoor performance brand based in San Diego, officially announced the permanent adoption of a four-day workweek as a new benefit for all employees. The change reduces the workweek to 32 hours, Monday to Thursday, while ensuring that employees continue to receive full compensation and benefits, as if they were working a traditional 40-hour week.
During a successful five-month trial, the leadership team reported positive outcomes including high productivity, communication, collaboration, and focus at work. In addition, because of the policy, 100Percent employees have reported increased physical and mental health, more job satisfaction, and better work-life balance. These positive outcomes mirror the global findings from the non-profit 4Day Week Global, which studied the impact of the 4-day work week across six continents and thousands of employees.
"We are a company dedicated to well-designed, high-performance products, and we’ve found a way to keep our employees’ creativity and productivity high without the burnout that often comes with this competitive industry,” says 100Percent CEO and Co-founder Ludo Boinnard. "We embody the brand and give our all in everything we do. Ironically, in the outdoor industry, you do not see many companies adopting policies allowing employees to enjoy being outside during the week. In San Diego, our employees report doing a variety of physical activities on their day off, and those who ride moto or mountain bikes can do so on Fridays, avoiding crowds and able to focus on their families during the longer weekend."
In addition to this new benefit, 100Percent employees are enjoying a fresh start at their new headquarters. The company recently moved to 10792 Roselle St, San Diego, CA 92121, a spacious 18,780 sq. ft. facility featuring upgraded bathrooms, a modern kitchen, and a private fitness center, further enhancing the employee experience.
