US Companies,Workweek,Burnout

Nearly one-third of large US companies are exploring new work schedule shifts such as four-day or four-and-a-half-day workweeks to address the issue of burnout among workers.

Burnout is such a problem for workers that some bosses are considering shrinking the length of the workweek.

“We are all working to figure out what is optimal, and we will continue to experiment and pivot,” Paul Knopp, chair and CEO of KPMG US, told CNN in an interview.A full 77% of US workers said a four-day, 40-hour workweek would have a positive impact on their wellbeing, according to a Gallup poll released in November. That includes 46% who said it would have an “extremely positive” effect.

“My guess is a widespread four-day workweek could be years away – if ever,” he said. “You’ll see companies quietly experimenting with it, but I don’t personally foresee widespread adoption in the next couple of years.” Billionaire investor Steve Cohen told CNBC this month that he’s confident a four-day workweek is coming – especially with the advent of AI. Cohen said he invested in a startup golf league partly on the belief that people will have more time on Fridays.
