How a Four-Day Work Week Changes Everything with Christian Miran
In this episode of theLove Your Work! podcast, I sit down with Christian Miran, a trailblazer in organizational transformation, to discuss reimagining work culture through the lens of the four-day work week. Our conversation dives into the motivations, structure, and measurable outcomes of this innovative approach at Medibank, while uncovering broader themes of conscious leadership and employee engagement.
“People are not resources, but remarkable individuals with untapped potential.” Christian Miran, Thrive Nation
Christian shares the guiding principle behind the initiative: a shift from focusing on tasks to prioritizing outcomes. At Medibank, the four-day work week provides employees with 100% pay for 80% of the time, aiming to enhance productivity and well-being. This restructuring demonstrates that when organizations value time over mere output, they unlock hidden potential and foster innovation.
Trust employees to make decisions—it boosts morale and productivity.
Address burnout proactively through meaningful changes, such as reducing work hours.
Engage employees by genuinely listening to their needs and ideas.
“A culture of trust and accountability is essential for success.” Christian Miran, Thrive Nation
As work culture evolves, organizations must adapt to retain talent and foster growth. Conscious leadership that prioritizes people over processes can create a ripple effect, driving innovation and well-being.
“The four-day work week is not just a perk; it’s a strategy for unlocking human potential.” Christian Miran, Thrive Nation
