Microsoft Japan gave roughly 2,300 employees five consecutive Fridays off in August 2019 without cutting their pay — and sales per employee came in 39.9% higher than the same month a year earlier. The experiment also forced a rethink of wasted work: 30-minute meetings became 46% more common, while employees increasingly replaced meetings with online collaboration.
Microsoft Japan's 39.9% sales-per-employee comparison was real, but the company said the trial did not cause it alone. The meeting redesign is the experiment's more direct lesson.
