Rimini Street announced the global adoption of its popular four-day workweek program, named “Fabulous Fridays!,” through 2023.

Rimini Street Listens, Measures, and Acts to Create a Better Workplace

The bold decision to launch “Fabulous Fridays!” as a four-day workweek pilot in July of 2022 was an acknowledgement by Rimini Street’s leadership team of the physical fatigue and emotional stress accumulated by the global workforce over the prior two years as the Company delivered continued excellence while navigating the pandemic and economic challenges.

The 2022 trial program allowed Rimini Street employees to enjoy the benefits of a more focused four-day workweek and a three-day weekend model that provided employees more relaxation, refocus, and realignment in their personal and professional lives.

Rimini Street’s global employee listening platform, “Make It Better!,” received extensive, positive feedback on “Fabulous Fridays!” during the 2022 trial period. Employees shared how the four-day workweek program transformed their personal and professional lives for the better.

For example, one Rimini Street colleague commented: “The extra day off allows me to catch up on personal matters and I'm more excited to start work on Monday with that extra day of rejuvenation. I tell everyone about this!”

A Four-Day Workweek Rooted in Sustainability, Stability and Productivity

After reviewing the impact of the four-day workweek across the business and across the Company’s core values, known as the “4C’s” – Company, Clients, Colleagues, and Community – Rimini Street leadership determined that the four-day workweek program provided substantial positive impact to the Company, its clients, and employees. Accordingly, Rimini Street leadership, along with the global workforce, enthusiastically supported extending its “Fabulous Fridays!” four-day workweek program through 2023.
