Andrew Barnes ONZM is the founder of Perpetual Guardian, New Zealand's largest corporate trustee company, and the architect of the global 4-day work week movement.
After trialling a 4-day week at his 300-person firm in 2018, the story generated over 12,000 media articles worldwide, became the second most-read story in the New York Times, and sparked a movement now reaching 5.5 billion people across 125 countries. His company today generates twice the revenue per employee of its nearest competitor, while his staff work one day less.
What Andrew reveals
- The exact 100-80-100 rule: 100% pay, 80% time, 100% productivity, and why it works
- Why the 5-day work week is a 100-year-old industrial construct with no place in the digital age
- How a single article in The Economist on a plane became a global movement reaching 5.5 billion people
- Which countries including UAE, Iceland, Japan and Saudi Arabia have gone furthest and why
- Why 95% of organisations that trial the 4-day week keep it permanently
- The one mistake most businesses make when they try to implement it and how to avoid it
- How to be twice as productive as your competitors while giving your staff a day off every week
