CHICK-FIL-A STORE’S 3-DAY WEEK FIGHTS BURNOUT

As the concept of a four-day work week gains momentum, a Chick-fil-A owner in Florida took it a step further by switching to a three-day, 14-hour work week. Justin Lindsey, the local operator of Chick-fil-A Kendall, said he designed the program with the goal of reducing burnout, increasing retention and giving employees a consistent work schedule, according to reports. The program, which began in February, has resulted in 100% employee retention at the management level and a flood of new applicants, according to QSR magazine.
