Bowie City Council Approves Trial 4-Day Workweek for Employees
After two years of research and employee/citizen feedback, the Bowie City Council voted to test a four-day workweek for its employees. This “victory” for morale and work-life balance will see staff work 10-hour days Monday-Thursday, with Fridays off. Mayor Burris enthusiastically supports the trial, believing it will benefit both employees and citizens. After six months, officials will assess the impact and potentially make it permanent. This decision reflects changing work models and prioritizing employee well-being.
