Well well... the opportunity of a four-day working week for everyone. Bet that got your attention. It certainly piqued the Workplace Geeks', so on this episode Chris and Ian are joined by Joe Ryle, director of the UK’s 4 Day Week Campaign, (alongside his role as Media and Comms Lead for future of work think tank Autonomy) to explore the pilot evaluation paper from early 2023 called 'The results are in: The UK's four-day week pilot'.

Rather than being peer-reviewed for academic publication like much of the work on the show, this one is available directly from Autonomy. That said, the evaluation work was undertaken independently by a team of academic researchers mainly from Boston College, who handled the quantitative data, and the University of Cambridge, who handed the qualitative side of things.

And if that wasn't enough, the legendary Perry Timms, Chief Energy Officer and founder of PTHR, joins the Geeks for the reflection section both to offer insights from PTHR's own perspective - they were an early UK adopter - and also to reflect on the sort of senior leader perspectives he experiences about the movement.
