4-Day Week

A working model that fits us

From Monday to Thursday, we work within a shared core working time from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., including a one-hour lunch break. Outside of these core hours, our team members organize their working time independently. Accordingly, we are not continuously available outside the core working time.

Challenge accepted – and mastered!

This way of working did not come about by chance. In 2024, a nationwide pilot study on the four-day workweek was launched in Germany, and SOLIDSENSE was one of around 45 companies that took part. The aim of the study was to reduce working hours while maintaining full pay and the same level of output, while at the same time increasing employee satisfaction and health. For us, there was an additional ambition: to make working time more flexible and individually adaptable for each person. The past months have shown that this approach works. Through increased efficiency, strong collaboration within the team, and a deliberate focus on what truly matters, we were able to achieve our goals while noticeably improving work-life balance across the company. Based on these experiences, we decided to initially extend the four-day workweek at SOLIDSENSE by a further six months, testing the model over a full year in total. Since 2025, the four-day workweek has been a fixed part of our employment contracts.
