Although only working four days a week, the ministry led by Erick Thohir said that the program is designed not to reduce the performance of its employees. On the contrary, CWS is expected to improve the well-being and productivity among the employees of state-owned enterprises. The CWS program is also designed to enhance work-life balance, engagement, stress, and burnout, which are currently prevalent among employees.

The terms that must be fulfilled by employees who want to apply for CWS are first, fulfilling 40 working hours per week. Second, fulfilling discipline and performance requirements. Third, preparing a work plan and output for 4 days. All of these requirements refer to the monthly individual performance targets and monthly unit performance targets.

After the CWS trial, the Ministry of SOEs will carry out a pilot project for two months so that the CWS policy can be further evaluated. The results of this evaluation will determine the sustainability of the CWS program. The Ministry of SOEs revealed that many other countries have implemented the CWS program. As a result, employees tend to be happier, reduce stress, transportation costs, and the frequency of employee sick leave.
