How likely do you think it is that a four day work week will become the standard over the next 12 months?

I see it as very unlikely, however, in industries where there is a lot of demand for skilled work force (cyber security for example) company's that want to disrupt could lead the charge and have the best team. I know its over simplifying but it's there for the taking. I think there is a real opportunity for disruptive companies to dedicate time (12 months prep for example) to prepare their company's (processes etc.) for a 4 day week then when they launch the program they would have a 12 month advantage on the rest. I see this as being aligned with, or in response to, a serious growth phase in a company where the the goal of the 4 day week would be to bring the critical mass of skilled labour that would not be doble under the standard model.

I believe it won't become a norm in the near future.

I think that is too much of a stretch. Companies and leaders are still figuring out how to provide more flexibility for their employees...once more leaders understand it is more about outcomes than presence or time spend working, then we might see a 4 day work week

In today’s job market, talented employees are in high demand. To attract and retain such employees, companies need to offer customized options that cater to their needs. Employers must also understand the mindset of the workforce, including millennials, to create a positive work environment that fosters growth and productivity.

We aligned with our colleagues our Hybrid policy is 3 days in the office-and we built a new North American headquarters that accommodates that type of future-forward business planning moving forward.  It would be a high risk to retention if we increased days in the office.
