“Having those conversations with and the team was one of the big attractions for me to come to Bolt,” said Christie. Christie officially joined Bolt in January following a four-year stint at Twitter where she was chief HR officer, though she was part of conversations early on when Bolt was kicking off the pilot. The verdict? The pilot was a success.ĩ4% of Bolt’s employees who answered the survey wanted to keep the shorter workweek, and 91% of managers wanted to continue it, Jennifer Christie, Bolt’s chief people officer, told Protocol. They also surveyed employees after the three months for more thorough feedback. The company started with a three-month pilot last fall to see what worked and what didn't, and then would decide if they wanted to roll it out permanently. Like many other tech companies, Bolt began by experimenting with the four-day workweek. Ecommerce checkout company Bolt just announced that it will make its four-day workweek a permanent fixture moving forward. Now, several months later, some companies are keeping the arrangement forever. While some experiments lasted for the duration of the summer, others stretched on into the fall. Over the past year we’ve heard about a myriad of four-day workweek experiments at tech companies.
