  • 67% feel they would be more productive working four 10-hour days compared to the standard five-day, 40-hour-a-week schedule.
  • 76% of women favor the arrangement, compared to 57% of men, citing better work-life balance and increased job satisfaction as top motivators.
  • 78% believe AI and automation could make a 4-day workweek possible.
  • Men express concerns about reduced collaboration, while women emphasize fewer meetings and remote options as productivity boosters.
