As Talent Gets Tighter, More Companies Consider 4-Day Workweek - But Widespread Adoption Remains Uncertain

• Nearly 1/3 of large US companies are exploring 4-day workweeks to attract and retain talent amid a tight job market where workers feel overworked.

• Studies show 4-day weeks can improve well-being and productivity, but some say it's too early to declare widespread adoption.

• Over half of UK companies trialling 4-day weeks have made them permanent a year later. But it may not work for all industries.

• AI could enable shorter weeks by automating tasks and making workers more efficient. 61% of CEOs encourage using AI to manage workloads.

• Only 34% of CEOs envision corporate employees being in the office 5 days a week in the next 3 years, down from 62% last year, showing more support for hybrid work.
