Employees in Singapore believe four-day work weeks will be commonplace at workplaces within five years, with the shift already observed in some organisations in the city-state, according to a new report.
The People at Work survey from ADP revealed that 32% of Singaporean workers expect four-day work weeks to be the norm in the next five years.
In fact, 21% of the respondents in Singapore said their employers are already implementing it to promote positive mental health at work - the highest across the APAC region.
The four-day work week
is gaining popularity for its potential benefits like improved work-life balance, increased productivity, and reduced burnout," said Yvonne Teo, Vice President of HR APAC at ADP, in a statement.
