Greece Begins Limited Six-Day Workweek

There’s been a lot of talk recently about the feasibility and value of a shorter workweek. Multiple factors have contributed to this. For one, advances in productive technologies like artificial intelligence and various forms of automation have already demonstrated significant potential in reducing the need for human labor. Additionally, the experience of the COVID-19 pandemic and the widespread shift to remote work that followed have strongly influenced employees’ feelings toward work-life balance and their desire for greater flexibility.
