When people talk about the future of work they usually talk about how machines and automation will impact the workforce. But there’s a different, more holistic conversation also evolving: the idea that the future of work should be good for workers, and not just good for profits.
Many companies are exploring different ways to build a better system of work, and it feels like every week a new company announces they are trialing a four-day workweek. There are many reported and researched benefits of a four-day workweek, and lots of more anecdotal ones too. When my company moved to a four-day workweek, I personally found my work/life balance vastly improved, and I felt much more rested and relaxed, and able to achieve more during my four days.
