Re-air: How the four-day workweek works
Studies show that employee well-being, job satisfaction, retention and productivity all increase with a compressed schedule. In a recent six-month trial in the UK, nearly 90% of companies that gave a four-day workweek a try kept with it over a year later. But is it as good as it sounds? And how exactly does it work across different industries?
Today, we’re talking with a researcher and veteran HR leader about the rising popularity of compressed schedules. We'll also hear from one employer about how she transitioned her family business to a four-day workweek and what it's like to work there now from one of the company's team members. Join us!
This episode was produced by Katherine Ceicys.
Guests:
Timothy Munyon, associate professor of management at Haslam College of Business, University of Tennessee Knoxville
Tracey Power, chief people officer at Vaco, a global talent solutions company based in Nashville
