The traditional five-day workweek faces mounting challenges, prompting exploration of alternative models like the four-day workweek. This research explores the transformative potential of scalability principles derived from cloud computing and IT in redefining workforce management for a four-day workweek. The study employs a Multivocal Literacy Research methodology, combining grey literature and systematic review approaches. Through a comprehensive review of related work, the challenges, and benefits of transitioning to a four-day workweek are explored. Pilot programs, clear communication, and agility are identified as critical success factors. The synthesis of scalability principles in workforce management serves as a powerful framework for a smooth transition towards a four-day workweek. By prioritizing adaptability, dynamic resource allocation, and data-driven insights, organizations can unlock the full potential of a compressed work schedule. This research contributes valuable insights for organizations seeking to thrive in the evolving landscape of modern work structures and prioritizing employee well-being.
