Take every Monday off or Friday without work forever? What would you choose? This may seem like a description of a perfect, utopian world, but very soon it could become reality.
An initiative called 4 Day Week Global has just arrived in Brazil to test the possibility of reducing the working day to four days following the 100 – 80 – 100 principle: the idea is to maintain 100% of the salary, working 80% of the time, with 100% productivity.
Here in Brazil, 20 companies will participate in the pilot that starts in November and will last six months. In the end, each company will be able to decide whether to follow the reduced scheme or not. For now, those selected for the tests are undergoing training and integration processes to adapt employees.
In the United Kingdom, for example, the tests have already come to an end, and 92% of companies have decided to continue with the four-day week. Furthermore, 71% of employees noticed a reduction in burnout and revenues even increased by an average of 2%.
This is just one of the good news of the new episode of CNN Good News that will air this Friday (15), on the CNN Pop YouTube channel.
Partnership with AdoteViCa
On each CNN Good News program, dogs available for adoption from AdoptViCa are present in the studio.
In 2017, unhappy with the sale of puppies in a petshop franchise that they had purchased, the couple Amanda Senna and Marcos Vieira da Cunha decided to transform the business structure into an adoption point.
Since then, maintaining the normal range of services offered by a pet shop, they have already changed the lives of more than six thousand animals and families who have chosen to adopt. Most of the cats and dogs arrive at ViCa through a partnership with Recanto Bicho Feliz, an NGO that brings together animals rescued from abandonment or risk situations.
The Instagram page, filled with pets and their stories as well as portraits of each one’s new families, already has almost 190 thousand followers – including some famous ones. Chefs Paola Carosella and Bela Gil are examples of personalities who went through the adoption center and took new family members home.
How do I adopt?
In addition to having a strong desire to have a life partner and, of course, the responsibility to take care of him for many years, Adopt ViCa has some rules.
To take an animal home, the adoption center requires the person to be over 18 years of age, and to bring their ID and proof of residence when adopting.
The ViCa adoption center is located at Rua Pamplona, 1481, in the Jardins neighborhood, in São Paulo. It is open from Monday to Friday, from 8:30 am to 8 pm, and on Saturdays, from 9 am to 6 pm.
