Golden, Colorado, is taking a fresh approach to work-life balance with its trial of a four-day workweek. Designed to give city employees an extra day off, the program allows for longer workdays over fewer days. The goal? Boost employee satisfaction, reduce commuting time, and maintain high-quality public services for the community.

Part of a broader push for innovation in Golden, this trial reflects the city’s commitment to efficiency and sustainability in government operations. By rethinking traditional schedules, Golden aims to enhance both workplace happiness and community service delivery.
