The four-day workweek has been a topic of discussion across the globe since the Covid-19 pandemic changed the way many businesses approached their way of working. This year, a number of companies in South Africa adopted the shorter week as a pilot project and reward-management experts at Remchannel did a countrywide survey among corporate employers to get insights into their thinking around a 32-hour workweek.

Listen to this Big Business Insights podcast hosted by Blessing Utete, host and Managing Executive at Old Mutual Corporate Consultants in conversation with Remchannel’s Managing Director Designate, Lindiwe Sebesho, as they discuss what the survey reveals and whether the four-day workweek is gaining traction, plus how decision-makers should view it within their overall EVP. 

Topics covered include: 

  • What the four-day workweek is and how it’s playing out in business
  • Interesting findings that have come out of Remchannel’s survey 
  • What SA corporates think about the idea
  • Why the four-day workweek is actually part of a bigger employee conversation
  • How businesses and decision-makers can gauge if it’s the right choice for their business, and what to do if it isn’t.
