Draft an internal memo proposing a pilot for a four-day workweek
You are an operations manager at a 180-person software company. Employee survey results show rising burnout, but leadership is cautious about any change that might reduce client responsiveness. Write an internal memo to the executive team proposing a 3-month pilot of a four-day workweek for one department.
Your memo should:
- recommend whether to run the pilot and for which department
- explain the business rationale, including likely benefits and risks
- outline how the pilot would work in practice without harming customer support
- propose 4 measurable success criteria
- address likely objections from finance, HR, and sales
- end with a clear next-step request
Constraints:
- Audience: CEO, CFO, Head of HR, VP of Sales
- Tone: professional, practical, and non-ideological
- Length: 350 to 500 words
- Do not use bullet points; write in memo style with headings if you wish
- Assume no additional hiring during the pilot
- The company serves clients across U.S. time zones
