Amid growing debates on remote work and evolving workplace dynamics, a new report indicates that 70% of workers want companies to reconsider the traditional 40-hour workweek. According to the "2024 Workforce Wellness Report" from FlexJobs, which includes responses from a survey of more than 3,000 workers — the majority of them females — 28% of respondents said they experience a daily pressure to overwork beyond their regular hours, with another 30% indicating they feel pressured to overwork at least once a week (12%) or a few times a month (18%).

FlexJobs, a career service specializing in remote, hybrid, and flexible jobs, conducted the survey to gain greater insight into workers' experiences and explore how today's work landscape is impacting their health and wellness, career choices, and perspectives on the future of work.
