Calls for a four-day working week are growing, as the New Year approaches.
Behavioural Scientist Dr Dale Whelehan, originally from Monasterevin, says AI, burnout and companies pressuring employees to return to the office is fuelling momentum for change to people's work schedule.
The 28-year-old is chief executive of the advocacy group, 4 Day Week Global, and was named on the Time100 Most Influential People in Health, as well as in the Forbes 30 Under 30 in the social impact category.
The '4-Day week' campaign run by the advocacy group is offering supports to small and medium enterprises to help businesses with the transition.
They says technology has helped remove barriers and create new ways of working.
Businesses are being encouraged to experiment with a 'four day work week' to help attract and retain employees.
