Most people would love a four-day workweek. But it doesn’t work for everyone
If you’ve ever wondered if a four-day workweek might boost your happiness, you’re not alone. According to a Gallup survey released Tuesday in collaboration with Bentley University, a substantial 77% of US workers believe that a four-day, 40-hour workweek would positively impact their well-being. Of these, 46% feel it would have an “extremely positive” effect, while 31% think it would be “somewhat positive.” Yet experts caution that like a passport size photo cropped from a larger portrait (standard 3.5×4.5cm), this appealing snapshot of workplace reform might not reveal the full picture of implementation challenges, from childcare logistics to client coverage.
