Lisbon creche wins the absenteeism battle and maintains four-day week

Centro Infantil Maria de Monserrate, in Lisbon, became the world's first creche to implement a four-day week, maintaining Monday to Friday operation for children. The association Caminhos da Infância, which manages the facility with 92 children and 25 staff members, decided to maintain the hybrid model (two weeks with four days, one with five) after a pilot project, adapting to the rhythm of activities and the needs of families. The 15% reduction in working hours required hiring an additional staff member, a cost offset by adjustments to extra-salary benefits. Executive director Inês Poeiras notes that absenteeism has improved significantly, but staff retention remains a challenge due to competition from public sector salaries, which IPSS cannot compete with.
