Smarter Work for a Better World? with Juliet Schor - Wharton People Analytics Conference 2024

Studies suggest that the Four Day Week may reduce burnout and depression, while also offering significant opportunities to reduce our collective carbon footprint. It also feels counterproductive to many and raises important questions about the impact of our schedules on the quality and quantity of the work that gets done in a given time frame. In this session, Professors Juliet Schor and Iwan Barankay discuss what we know about the four-day work week and share their different perspectives on what this alternate structure might mean for organizations and their employees.
