October 16, 2025: Amazon is cutting 15% of its HR team, signaling a shift from administrative people functions to data-driven, AI-powered HR. Younger workers are turning to TikTok and ChatGPT to understand their benefits instead of relying on HR portals. Facebook is re-entering the job market, bringing hiring into local digital communities. Microsoft says AI could save over 12 billion hours a year—but only if we manage “shadow AI” responsibly. And billionaire CEO Ken Griffin predicts a future where humans work just three days a week. In this episode, Jacob Morgan breaks down what these stories really mean for leaders. What happens when HR becomes more automated than human? Why are employees trusting algorithms and influencers more than their companies? And how do leaders create balance between productivity and purpose in an AI-driven world? Each story reveals a deeper truth: technology may change how we work, but leadership defines why we work.
Send us a textA four-day work week is not a gimmick. Done right, it can reduce burnout, stabilize output, and help you keep great people. Our guest today shares that after two years of doing a 4-day work week model, they saw a 46% increase in staff morale and wellbeing. This is only one of the many amazing benefits Imagine Canada has seen! In this episode of The Small Nonprofit Podcast, Maria Rio sits down with Jodene Baker, Vice President of Research, Advocacy and External Relations at Imagine Canada. Jodene oversees national research and policy efforts supporting Canada's nonprofit sector. Imagine Canada also builds tools like Grant Connect and advocates federally to strengthen the sector. Maria and Jodene discuss the challenges of starting, decent work practices, and how to measure the unmeasurable. 4-Day Work Week for Nonprofits - The Highlights: Why try a four-day week in the first place The sector is stretched: lower average pay, rising demand, and chronic burnout. Imagine Canada saw the same internal pressures and chose to test a four-day week to improve staff wellbeing and retention while holding impact. Their model is 100 percent pay, 80 percent time, 100 percent outcomes Imagine Canada works Monday to Thursday and closes Fridays. There is no pay cut and no compressed schedule. This pilot began in January 2023 and is now extended through 2026. It remains a pilot so they can keep measuring and adjust if needed. Preparation made the shift workable They joined the Four Day Week Global pilot, created a cross-functional staff group, set clear goals, and defined success metrics. They also cleaned up calendars: Audited and shortened meetings Made Monday afternoons meeting-free internally Blocked Fridays well in advance to build the habit Measured results: wellbeing up, sick days down, impact stable They track roughly 50 metrics across wellbeing, productivity, and outputs. Recruitment and retention improved Candidates now cite the four-day week as a reason to apply. Staff attrition has dropped exponentially.

A study published earlier this year showed that cutting the working week to four days instead of five significantly improved people's wellbeing. So why hasn't it become the norm yet? We're joined by Sofia Bettiza, the BBC's Global Health reporter, who breaks down all the data we have about the four-day work week, and tells us how reliable it is. Plus we hear about how work culture differs across countries like South Africa and Japan.Instagram: @bbcwhatintheworld Email: whatintheworld@bbc.co.uk WhatsApp: +44 330 12 33 22 6 Presenter: Hannah Gelbart Producers: Emily Horler and Benita Barden Editor: Harriet Oliver
When the Covid-19 pandemic struck in 2020, hundreds of millions of people worldwide suddenly found themselves working from home for the first time. Since then, calls for more flexible and shorter working hours have continued to gain momentum.Proponents of a four-day week argue that employees, business and society at large would be better off with one less day of work. Those in favour of reducing working hours also say it would help tackle burnout, gender inequality, unemployment and improve general health and wellbeing.However, opponents say reducing working hours could cause economic damage, waken people's work ethic and put a strain on public services.They've also warned that industries like education, medicine and hospitality, which require staff seven days a week, 24 hours a day, cannot simply change their working format.The Netherlands, where the average working week is now 32 hours, is one country where the four-day model is quietly changing people's lives.How did the Dutch embark on this working model, how successful has it been and what downsides are there to cutting back the working week?Financial Times columnist and reporter Sarah O'Connor discusses the shift in the Netherlands to a shorter working week and examines whether the Dutch model could function in other countries.Presented by Sorcha Pollak.

Rapid growth excites, but without systems it leads to burnout. James shows how a 3-day work week can achieve both revenue and work-life balance.
Visit today's blog post here. One of the best ways I've created more stability in my business (and life) while working a 3-day workweek is through something I call gold space. This is different than white space because white space means we are doing absolutely nothing. And in my book, that literally never happens for women, and it also terrifies us to be completely still and quiet.
In this week's episode of Lessons from a Quitter, I share a personal experiment I've started in my own business: taking Mondays and Fridays off to create a three-day workweek. While it sounds dreamy on the surface, the reality has been much messier—and that's exactly why I wanted to bring it to you. We dive into how hustle culture and perfectionism make rest feel uncomfortable, why our brains resist slowing down, and how important it is to give ourselves permission to experiment. This conversation is about challenging old rules, embracing imperfection, and creating more space for what you truly want.

Do You Think A Four-Day Work Would Actually Work?Seven in 10 workers feel they could be just as productive in a four-day work week, according to new research. Things That Make Insomnia WorseStaying in bed longer - Experts advise a sleep routine of getting up at the same time every morning and only getting into bed when you're truly tired.Cutting out screens completely - Lying in bed without something to focus on can lead to overthinking, which is terrible for sleep. That's when having something to distract your thoughts can be helpful, but stick with something calm, like a nature documentary or soothing podcast.Swearing off caffeine forever - Caffeine blocks adenosine, which makes you sleepy, so if an afternoon cup of tea keeps you awake at night, skip it. Trying too hard to sleep “right” - Trackers, gadgets and products to enhance sleep make it easy to obsess over snoozing, but that can backfire and give you anxiety. Your body knows how to rest and micromanaging it can add pressure, instead of helping.Expecting consistency - Thanks to things like age, stress, hormones and even the weather, some nights sleep will be easier than others, and that's normal. You won't get a solid eight hours every night, so don't expect it or beat yourself up if the popular advice isn't helping you.⠀House Noises You Shouldn't IgnoreRushing water noises - Do a quick check for pooling water in areas that are prone to leaking, like your sink or bathroom, and checking the water meter is also a good idea. Buzzing from lights - If you hear any sounds coming from your outlets or switches, call a licensed electrician.Whistling or hissing noises near gas-based appliances - This could be a “really serious indicator of a potential danger in your home that could lead to a house fire,” Dripping faucet sounds - It's less of an immediate emergency, but it can cost you more the longer you ignore it.Gurgling toilets - If it gurgles after you flush, that would be indication that you either have a backup and the water can pass but it's struggling. Second Date UpdateAmanda called us about Gabe. They matched on Bumble and met for coffee in Redwood City. Amanda said the conversation was fun, she was smiling the whole time, and she really thought there was chemistry. But Gabe never reached out again.

Recorded during HITEC, #NoVacancyNews had the privilege of chatting with Michael Schubach Shubach from Rosen Hotels & Resorts to explore how #hoteltechnology, people-first thinking, and bold ideas could reshape the hospitality industry. ✨ Key highlights from our conversation: • Why Rosen is exploring a 4-day workweek with 5-day workweek pay as a real benefit of AI-driven productivity • How sharing automation gains with employees—rather than only owners—can build unmatched loyalty • Tackling class divides in hospitality by returning more time (instead of promising remote work that frontline staff can't access) • Using technology to remove workplace monotony and open paths for growth, not just cost-cutting • What it means to truly care for your people beyond the usual perks and policies It's not just about doing things differently—it's about rethinking why we do them at all.

Are we working too much? “Time is a vital resource for us to connect with each other, to connect with the earth and …to come together in solidarity, to try and fix what's wrong.” We have accepted the 5 day work week as the status quo—caught in a cycle of working more so we can spend more, just to keep up with the Jones'. But what if there's a better way to live: For our own happiness, the economy, and our planet? Economist and Sociologist Juliet Schor, has spent decades researching the way we work, and her new book - The Four Day Week - invites all of us to imagine a future where work is restructured to serve human needs, not the other way around.

It makes sense that if you want to cut down on the amount of spam email you get, just unsubscribe from those emails. WAIT! That could make things worse. There is a better way to handle spam emails, and I begin this episode by explaining how. https://www.yahoo.com/news/warning-hitting-unsubscribe-unwanted-emails-115900557.html Predicting the future is a losing game most of the time. Still, a lot of influential people spend a lot of time and money trying to do it. People forecast where the stock market is going, they predict trends in fashion, technology and everything else. It makes you wonder if all that effort and money trying to predict the future actually helps to make it happen. So why is the future so unpredictable? What forces do shape the future? Joining me to discuss this is Glenn Adamson, former director of the Museum of Arts and Design, New York. He has held appointments as Senior Scholar at the Yale Center for British Art and he is the author of the book, A Century of Tomorrows: How Imagining the Future Shapes the Present (https://amzn.to/442HOfb). People have been floating the idea of a 4-day workweek for over 60 years. Yet it is still not the norm. Why hasn't it caught on? Is it a good idea? Will it ever be a real thing? Here with some interesting insight into the 4-day workweek is Juliet Schor. She is an economist, and professor of sociology at Boston College. Her work has been featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, People and 60 Minutes. She is also the author of a book called Four Days a Week: The Life-Changing Solution for Reducing Employee Stress, Improving Well-Being, and Working Smarter (https://amzn.to/4jQSvr0). There are a lot of weight loss programs and strategies available for people. But what if there was one simple, common sense, easy to do tactic that is proven to help people lose weight effectively? There is. It so simple. And I will tell you exactly how to do it. https://www.ornish.com/zine/proven-benefits-keeping-food-journal/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What if you could work just three days a week… and still run a thriving dental practice? In this episode of The Thriving Dentist Show, Gary Takacs and co-host Naren Arulrajah explore a powerful idea that's on the minds of many dentists today: how to create more free time without losing income or control of your practice. If you've ever felt burned out or just wish you had more balance in life, this episode is for you. Gary shares how he's helped many dentists make the three-day work week a reality. From smart scheduling to reducing insurance headaches, you'll hear real-world strategies that work. They talk about how two dentists can share the week and still keep the office running five days, or how a solo dentist can stay just as productive by working smarter—not longer. You'll also learn how to build a strong, happy team that loves the schedule as much as you do. Naren jumps in with simple marketing tips to help attract patients for high-value services like implants, Invisalign, or cosmetic dentistry. He explains why great landing pages, real patient stories, and search engine optimization (SEO) can help you get more of the right patients—without spending a lot on ads. These ideas make it easier to grow your income, even with fewer workdays. Whether you're just starting to think about a lighter schedule or you're ready to take action, this episode gives you a clear path forward. Gary and Naren break it all down in a way that's easy to follow and proven to work. It's not just a dream—you really can build a life and practice your love with more time, more freedom, and less stress.

What if I told you that working just two and a half days a week could actually be your new normal? More time with your family, more energy for your passions, and more freedom to live—without sacrificing your income or impact. Sounds wild, right? But it's possible—and in this episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm breaking down exactly how I pulled it off. First things first: I didn't start here. I used to grind nonstop—100+ hour workweeks, chasing big goals in the big city, feeling burned out and unfulfilled. Eventually, I hit a breaking point and knew something had to change. That's when I started to design my life on purpose. I created a weekly structure, tested out new systems, and got clear on what actually mattered. Over time, that led me to working just 2.5 days a week—with more results, more happiness, and more balance. Here's how it works: It's not just about the structure—it's about the systems. I use time-blocking religiously and follow Parkinson's Law: work expands to the time you give it. So I limit tasks on purpose. I use the Pomodoro technique—45 minutes of deep work, 15 minutes of rest. Apps like Sunsama and Notion help me plan my day with intention. I set just three “Most Valuable Tasks” each day and focus only on those. The rest? Either gets scheduled for later or let go.Delegation and automation are non-negotiables. I ask myself, “What would break if I stopped doing this?” If the answer is nothing, I cut it. For what's essential but not in my zone of genius, I delegate using the 10-80-10 rule: 10% to set it up, 80% delegated, 10% to review. I rely on tools like Zapier and an organized team to automate as much as possible. I also create SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) for everything so I'm not the bottleneck. Once things are documented and repeatable, it's easy to scale without burning out.One big mindset shift that made this lifestyle possible? Realizing busy doesn't equal productive. I stopped glorifying hustle and started chasing impact. I focus only on the 20% of actions that create 80% of the results—whether that's nurturing partnerships, closing deals, or creating content that builds brand trust. If it doesn't move the needle, I say no.And speaking of “no”—boundaries are everything. I trained my team and clients to respect my schedule. I don't reply to business texts on Sundays. I protect off-grid time and unplug regularly to reset my nervous system. People quickly adapt when you set clear expectations—and you'll find you're actually more respected when you own your time.Was this shift easy? Nope. It took trial and error. I had to hustle hard at first to build the foundation. But now, with recurring income streams, dialed-in systems, and a focused schedule, I get to enjoy a life that's rich in time, not just money.So if you're tired of the grind and want more freedom without giving up your goals—start small. Time-block your ideal week. Identify your needle-moving tasks. Eliminate the noise. And build the life you actually want to live, one intentional move at a time.
