KCBS Radio In Depth
When it comes to work, could less be more?
On this edition of KCBS In Depth, we take on the case for the four-day workweek, that is the idea that not only workers, but also many employers would be better off if we all got an extra day to ourselves: a day to recharge our batteries, tend to the trouble spots in our lives and return to work that much more energized and productive. But there’s also plenty of skeptics who say that while the four-day workweek may work for some, it’s just not a practical way to run an economy. Guests: Alex Soojung-Kim Pang, global programs and research manager, 4 Day Week Global | author, "Shorter: Work Better, Smarter and Less – Here’s How" Matthew Bidwell, professor of management, Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania Host: Keith Menconi
