Saudi Arabia is transitioning to a three-day weekend, joining a growing trend where many countries are experimenting with shorter workweeks. European organizations are also exploring shifts to three-day weekends, with pilot programs for four-day workweeks showing promising results. Following this global movement, Saudi Arabia is adopting a three-day weekend policy within one of its organizations.
According to a report by Dubai-based Gulf News on Sunday, Saudi Arabia is ushering in this new era with the Riyadh-based company Lucidia leading the change. Lucidia, an AI customer experience management platform, has announced it will offer its employees three days off each week, becoming the first company in the country to implement this policy. The move is intended to enhance productivity.
The announcement from Lucidia has generated significant discussion on social media, with many people eager to see the effects of a three-day weekend on employee performance.
Middle Eastern media outlets have noted that Lucidia’s decision could set a new benchmark in Saudi Arabia. The initiative is highly regarded, and many are enthusiastic about its potential impact on employee well-being and efficiency.
