“Could a 4-day week
really work?”
COVID-19 has shifted many of us into a remote workplace, while some are seeing a partial return to work to maintain social distancing. Mental health and self-care are coming to the forefront for many organizations as they deal with the stress of change and uncertainty.
What would the world look like if we rebooted with a four-day work week? Does less time at work translate into higher productivity, happier corporate culture, and better employee experience? Join Clare Kumar of Streamlife Ltd. and our CPO Dessalen Wood to talk about the potential—and the reality—of the four-day work week.
