What if the next major lever for reducing burnout, improving productivity, and preparing the workforce for AI isn’t doing more - but rethinking how work gets done? On October 29, 2026, i4cp’s Next Practices Weekly welcomes Boston College Professor Juliet B. Schor, bestselling author of Four Days a Week, for a research-backed discussion on why the four-day workweek is moving from bold idea to serious business consideration.

Drawing on large-scale research and more than four decades studying work, Schor will share what organizations need to consider as they redesign work for performance, well-being, and the future of employee experience.
