  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.
