Is the Four-Day Work Week the Answer?
Is the four-day work week really the solution we’ve been waiting for—or just a flashy band-aid for a bigger issue?
In this episode of HR Leaders Lounge, we explore the deeper questions behind the four-day work week conversation:
- Why the five-day work week isn’t as “traditional” as we think
- How burnout, flexibility, and productivity are shaping employee expectations
- Why shorter weeks don’t necessarily mean better work-life balance
Plus, our hosts dive into how remote work, generational shifts, and family life all tie into the evolving future of work—and why flexibility might matter more than the number of days you clock in.
