In this episode of the Happy at Work Podcast, we spoke with Representative Mark Takano to discuss workplace policy, culture, and his vision for the 4-day-work week.

Rep. Takano is an American politician and academic who has been the United States representative for California's 41st congressional district since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, Takano became the first openly gay person of Asian descent in Congress upon taking office. Additionally, Rep. Takano has made history for legislation he's put forward that would reduce the standard workweek from 40 hours to 32 hours by lowering the maximum hours threshold for overtime compensation for non-exempt employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
