Additionally, 96 percent of respondents in favor of a 4-day work week say it would ‘somewhat’ or ‘vastly’ improve their work-life balance. Eighty-eight percent of those in favor also say it would ‘somewhat’ or ‘vastly’ improve their productivity at work.
“It’s very clear that workers are enthusiastic about a 4-day work week, and this could be an alternative for organizations to give workers more work/life balance, rather than instituting remote or hybrid work schedules if that does not fit with their culture,” comments Chief Career Advisor Stacie Haller. “Companies requiring in-person work are missing out on employees who only want remote/hybrid work, so a 4-day work week could be a good compromise that allows companies to attract more qualified applicants.”
However, 6 percent of respondents say they would be ‘not very’ or ‘not at all’ enthusiastic about switching to a 4-day schedule. Assuming their job responsibilities remain the same, 46 percent of respondents believe they would need to work over 9 hours per day on a 4-day work schedule.
This online poll was commissioned by ResumeBuilder.com and conducted via Pollfish from August 2 to 5, 2023. Respondents consist of a national sample of 1,000 full-time office workers who do not work a 4-day week, are between the ages of 22 and 65, are employed for wages, have a household income of at least $25,000 per year, and work at a company with six or more employees.

There was an overwhelmingly positive reception to the Orbit Drive from the e-bike community as well as international press:

‘it’s what the internals achieve that’s impressive.’ -CyclingElectric
‘will likely appeal to riders and brands alike..’ -BikeRadar

Driven is currently in talks with several of these companies, indicating a promising future for the brand.
The Wefunder equity raise will allow Driven to bring the Orbit Drive to the world, enabling the company to fund advanced manufacturing, sales, and iterations of the drive for specific OEM’s. The ‘early bird’ raise, at a discounted valuation, goes from August 15 to August 29.

Virtual Mailbox Industry Leader, Anytime Mailbox, Celebrates Its 10-Year Anniversary: Credits 1,950+ Mail Center Partners and Globally Distributed Team For Its Success
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Anytime Mailbox and its virtual mailbox network celebrate 10 years of business this month.
Founders Matt Going and Marcel Buechi started the business in their home offices, working with their first operator mail locations and renters in the fall of 2013.
Now, with 1,950+ locations in the U.S. and worldwide, Anytime Mailbox has proven that it can provide technology solutions for small businesses, digital nomads, frequent travelers, families and individuals, and more.

Today, Life Science organizations are aggressively experimenting with generative AI to help “identify new drug targets, improving clinical site selection, monitoring drug reactions and accelerate marketing content development”, to name a few use cases. “In life science commercial operations, the technology is being explored for publication summarization in medical affairs as well as generating market performance insights for sales and marketing business users.”
Huma.AI has been named in the Generative AI category. We believe such a recognition highlights Huma.AI’s remarkable progress and potential for exponential growth as they empower Life Science organizations to unlock new possibilities applicable to multiple use cases.
According to Gartner, technologies and approaches that leverage advanced analytics and AI for driving commercialization strategies will have a significant impact on Life Science Organizations, enabling them to drive much needed operational efficiency and effectiveness improvements. For example, digital transformation of customer-facing processes has exposed disconnected CRM applications, leaving the customer to be the coordinator of their experience across an organization’s points of interaction (POIs).
Huma.AI’s unique, expert-in-the-loop GenAI platform, combined with the ability to quickly scale across numerous data sources (including CRMs), is merely the beginning of what can be accomplished.
“We are, once again, humbled and honored to be mentioned in the Gartner Hype Cycle for Life Science Commercial Operations,” said Huma.AI Co-Founder and CEO Lana Feng. “We feel this recognition reflects the hard work and dedication of our talented team, as well as Huma.AI’s commitment to accelerating the development of life-saving medicine and products. Our goal is to further empower Life Sciences’ Commercial teams with a state-of-the-art AI environment that drives meaningful transformation.”

About Huma.AI
Co-founded by Lana Feng Ph.D. and Greg Kostello, Huma.AI is a pioneer in generative AI for life sciences. Through its collaboration with OpenAI, Huma.AI deployed its validated GenAI platform to multiple life science clients in Q4 2022, just as ChatGTP took the world by storm. The platform generates intelligence across disparate sources both internal and external, provides privacy and security for clients’ private data, and references citations. The name Huma means human plus machine where humans always come first. This “expert-in-the-loop” approach leads to highest accuracy possible.
Huma.AI has garnered tremendous industry recognition. The company currently works with many pharmaceutical and medical device and IVD companies across multiple use cases including medical affairs, commercial operation, clinical development, RWD and post market surveillance.
