The Case for a Four-Day Week: What the Research Shows

Most organisations are asking how to get more from their people. But what if the real question is how to get more from the time they spend at work?

In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, David Green is joined by Joe O'Connor, founder of Worktime Revolution, and Jared Lindzon, future-of-work journalist and author, to explore the research-backed case for the four-day working week, and what it means for how HR leaders design, lead and transform work.

Join them as they discuss:

• Why the five-day working week is a relic of the industrial age
• What the evidence from global pilots shows about productivity, wellbeing and retention
• Why organisations moving to a four-day week are also becoming faster AI adopters
• What it actually takes to make the transition work - and why culture and trust are the real foundations
• How HR leaders can shift the conversation from top-down mandate to shared, enthusiastic change

The world of work is being rewritten faster than HR systems can keep up. Skills age in months. Roles get redesigned quarter by quarter. CHROs have quietly become AI transformation leads, and the data they need to lead it doesn't exist in any HR system.

That's why the world's most forward-looking enterprises such as HSBC, AMD, T-Mobile, GSK, ServiceNow, Pfizer, have built on TechWolf.

As the data layer for the AI era of work, TechWolf gives enterprises the skills, they need to move faster and lead with confidence. Skills Intelligence, Work Intelligence, and Market Intelligence, in one layer. Visit techwolf.ai.
