There’s a growing push among U.S. state legislatures and Congress to allow workers the opportunity to try a four-day workweek. According to CBS News, at least half a dozen states are considering various forms of legislation to make four-day workweeks more common. The latest buzz around a four-day workweek comes in part due to a recent study of 61-companies in the UK that found employees working four days a week reported less stress and burnout alongside better work-life balance.
If you’re looking for more context on the matter, please consider Christopher Kayes, a professor of management and the chair of the management department at the George Washington University School of Business. He is an expert on leadership, organizational behavior and workplace well-being as well as employment trends and related issues. He can discuss the four-day workweek, the likelihood of its implementation in the U.S. and other aspects of the growing labor trend.
