The concept of the four-day working week has been around for almost a century, but like the idea of working from home which needed a pandemic to make happen, the four-day week concept hasn’t really taken off in Australia until recently.   

Researchers have found a four-day work week without a pay cut improves both productivity and a sense of wellbeing, less stress and burnout, and a better work-life balance among workers.   

Joe O’Connor is the CEO of 4 Day Week Global who’s running a huge trial in the UK. Joe joins us on The Briefing to talk about the possibility of a four-day week taking off in Australia.
