Is it time to rethink our workday? The way we live our lives has drastically changed in the last 70 years, yet our workday still looks much the same as it did in the 1950s.
As the way we work changes, and our workforce diversifies, is it time to look at how we reshape our working week and move the conversation away from hours and towards outputs and productivity?
While it is hotly debated, there is increasing evidence that introducing more flexibility into your workplace can improve your team’s productivity and help you attract and retain top talent.
In fact, some research suggests introducing a four-day work week can result in increased revenue, minimise absenteeism rate, reduce burnout and lead to decreased resignation. But do these results stand-up to scrutiny, are they applicable to different sectors, and can it work in your business?
In this Webinar, we will debate these questions and answer the questions you have always wanted to know about the four-day work week and other forms of flexible working.
Join us as we ask the question why are we still working like we are in 1954?
This webinar presents:
- A deep dive into the four-day work week and other types of flexible working arrangement.
- An analysis of what the research and evidence has found from those companies who have implemented a four-day work week.
- A look at what you need to be thinking about if you want to introduce more flexible working arrangements in your workplace.
- An opportunity for you to have your questions answered about the pros and cons of a four-day work week.
