Curious About a 4-Day Work Week? 5 Models with Expert Rachael Evans


Listen Later

More downtime, less stress, increased productivity. 

Sounds like a dream to most under-the-pump trade business owners... What’s the secret, you ask? Could it be one of the 4 day business models that is becoming more and more popular around the world?

That’s what we’ll be discussing in this week’s episode of The Tradie Show. 

Today, you’ll meet Rachael Evans, a world-leading visionary, thought-leader, business pioneer, speaker, author and advisor. She’s the CEO and Founder of 4 Days For All and is an expert in transforming mindsets to adapt to a healthier mix of work and life.
 
 While there seems to be a bit of pushback from the trade industry about the 4 day work week, there are several ways to implement a 4 day work week. There are different models that work for different businesses and some may work better than others depending on your business. Here are a few:

  •  Full hours/4 days (essentially making your days longer)
  • Two crews (staggering staff days off, so all business hours are covered)
  • 100:80:100 model
  • 9 day fortnight
  • Hybrid model

When you transition to a 4 day work week structure, it doesn't just open your mind to what can be done at work, it opens your mind to what you can do in your life. That can open your mind how you can run your business  
 
 However, word of warning. the one thing the 4 day work week won't fix is an unproductive, inefficient business. If you have those challenges, you must fix those first.
