A cultural shift has seen job seekers wanting more than just a job. Employees want a sense of purpose, meaning in their work and a company whose values align with their own.

In this week’s episode of The Tradie Show, Andy and Angela invite Founder and CEO of Business Blueprint, Dale Beaumont, into the studio to discuss the art of crafting and building the workplace culture you want. 

Dale is an entrepreneur, business growth expert and the author of 19 best-selling books. He brings his expertise on leadership, purpose driven culture and discusses the do’s and don’ts when creating a workplace with the goal of attracting and retaining the best talent.

As a Trade Business Owner, if you want to differentiate yourself from competitors, you need to walk the walk not just talk the talk.

What would a 4-day work week mean to you?

Trade businesses have operated between 7am and 3.30pm, Monday to Friday, often with weekend or emergency work, for as long as we can remember..

Just because it’s the way things have always been done doesn’t mean we can’t question how we could re-shape the traditional trade business work week, by offering a better work-life balance.

Our members Tom and Jamie Dale from Dale Plumbing implemented a 4.5 day work week 18 months ago. Find out what a typical week looks like and if it’s working for their business.

Whatever your view on the matter, it’s great to see businesses breaking free of tradition and trying something new!
