In an effort to promote a work environment that is “tailored to a reduced schedule and still fosters success and career growth”, Amazon is testing out a 30 hour work week with some of its employees. The employees will be paid 25% less than their 40-hour per week equivalents, but will still receive the same benefits. Amazon hopes this will influence other companies to offer reduced schedules, which could greatly benefit women who are balancing work and childcare.
