EICN Seoul -
The next wave of human talent: Gen Z and the four-day week
Almost 60 years ago in December 1964, The Beatles released their hit "Eight Days a Week" and now in 2023 the prospect of a four-day workweek for some looks not merely tantalising but realistic. In the workplace landscape after COVID, more and more members of Generation Z workers are looking for opportunities to reduce the time they spend at work, whether that be in the office or even remotely from home or a coffee shop.
EICN recently conducted a survey throughout the world - targeting both its executive membership and also Gen Z employees - to gauge the impact of a four-day work week in global workforces, as well as the experiences of younger workers in adapting to the post-pandemic working environment.
At our June event we will present the results of this cross-cultural survey and discuss what its implications are for our human resources and management teams going forward. Are companies in South Korea already making adjustments? Or is it business as usual? Are young job applicants voting with their feet by making a shorter work week a priority in choosing where to take up employment offers? Join us in June as we try to unpack it all.
