In November 2023, after a successful six-month trial, Truii officially adopted a four-day work week, following the 100-80-100 model: 100% pay for 80% of the hours, with 100% business efficiency.

Truii operates Tuesday to Friday, with a 32-hour work week (four 8-hour days), and the company is closed on Mondays. The team all work from home on Tuesdays and Fridays, and all Brisbane-based staff come into the office on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

During the trial, we surveyed the team, and the results were overwhelmingly positive:

• No one reported increased stress with the switch to the 32-hour week
• 100% of the team supported the change, citing no delays in work delivery
• The team reported improved work-life balance and in fact reduced stress
• Company revenue increased.

As company founders, we’ve found more headspace to focus on growing the business rather than just managing it day-to-day, which has had a transformative effect.

Additional benefits we’ve seen from the shift include:

• Communication processes were refined for smoother collaboration
• Standard operating procedures were implemented to streamline repeatable tasks
• Clearer roles and responsibilities were established, improving team efficiency.

We’re thrilled to continue this new chapter, with an enhanced work-life balance for our team.

Cheers to the Truii team for making this shift a success!
