As younger generations, particularly Gen Z and Millenials, are aging to make up more of the workforce, workplace expectations from employees are shifting.
Among US workers, over 75% say they could complete their current workload in a four-day workweek rather than five, according to a recent report from Fiverr.
Millennials, who make up around 35% of today's workforce, were the most passionate about the four-day workweek with 87% agreeing.
The survey also showed that while overall younger generations of workers are demanding more flexibility in their work schedules, they prefer in-person interactions over remote work.
The consulting firm EY's annual Workplace Index found that although the four-day workweek has gained popularity abroad, it has seen little adoption by U.S. companies until recently.
