It's an old article, so did they continue it?
We see reports like this all the time but barely any companies actually have the balls to go through with it long term.

In the announcement dated October 31, one of the listed "improvements" from the 2019 Summer Work-Life Choice Challenge was an increase of 39.9% in labor productivity (sales revenue per employee) in August 2019 compared to August 2018, with a graph below.
While this number is factual, it is not solely the result of this challenge, and was achieved due to a number of different factors.
To avoid misunderstanding, we have removed that claim from the above summary of the direct effects of the challenge.
I expect this works great for 2 to 3 months when it is novel and everyone is keen to prove it works, but will begin to regress back after that. Where it ends up longterm is the big deal.
