A growing number of rural municipalities in Ontario are expressing interest in implementing a four-day work week, a group that supports local governments says, as another community in the province begins offering the model to staff.
The executive director of the Ontario Municipal Administrators' Association said there are at least seven municipalities now offering staff the flexibility to work a four-day week, with Algonquin Highlands becoming the latest to implement it.
Zorra Township, a rural municipality at the northwest corner of Oxford County in southwestern Ontario, began scheduling staff to work four days a week more than a year ago. Several other rural municipalities in southern Ontario have since followed suit. “Another factor is it is challenging for small, rural places to attract good talent and they're always looking for new and innovative ways to win that battle.”
The municipality conducted a trial of the four-day work week for the last six months, having two teams working different schedules. One group clocked in Monday to Thursday while the others worked Tuesday to Friday. Everyone worked an hour extra every day and breaks were reduced to 30 minutes. John Trougakos, a professor of management at the University of Toronto, said the shift in work schedules is part of a global trend that gained traction during the pandemic.
