Work

The majority of workers in Iceland now look set to move to shorter hours for the same pay.

If the pandemic has taught us anything about work, it’s that we don’t need to be pulling long hours in an office to be productive. So, why is presenteeism still so important?

Unable to find enough workers, employers are turning to technology to perform tasks—and women are likely to be the hardest hit.

Remote work, hybrid, flexible staggered hours, job sharing, four-day workweeks, five-hour days, hot desks and other initiatives are being tried out by companies to enhance employee happiness and retain talent.

The majority of employees expect to return to the office for at least four days a week post-pandemic, according to research from workplace design brand Steelcase.
