Does The Four-Day Workweek Work?

Happiness at Work - A podcast by Management 3.0

Categories:

The world’s largest trial of the four-day work week was recently conducted in the UK. And the results were hard to ignore. Many participants said that “no amount of money” could get them to go back to the way things were.  Today we sit down with Juan Gutiérrez Plaza, an executive with the London-based company Scoro, which has fully and successfully adopted a four-day workweek. We talk about its implementation, its impacts on employee happiness and productivity, and Plaza's recommendations for other leaders who are considering the move from five days to four. We also discuss some additional Scoro intiatives, which are providing employees with more choice, agency, and flexibility in their careers.  Learn more about Juan and Scoro here: https://www.scoro.com/blog/life-at-scoro-interview-with-vp-of-engineering-juan-gutierrez-plaza/ In a post-pandemic world, workers want to retain their flexibility and have the best of both worlds: an office to meet and collaborate in, and the freedom to work remotely. The new norm is "hybrid," but what does this mean in practice? What are the challenges and opportunities of this form of working, and how can leaders rethink collaboration formats and decision-making? To answer these and many more questions, we have created a module on remote and hybrid collaboration.  To learn more and find upcoming workshop dates, visit www.management30.com/module.  For more happiness, visit www.Management30.com
