Jess & Stef: The Four Day Work Week
Listen if: The idea of having a paid day off sounds like some sort of impossible utopia.
In this episode, Jess and Stef discuss why they’re trialling a four day work week with their team at full pay, and share their thoughts and ideas around why we need to reimagine what a workplace looks like in 2020.
Hear about:
- What the four day work week is and where the idea came from.
- Why people feel the need to be chained to their desk between the hours of 9-5.
- Where the 5 day week came from and why we should rethink it.
- How you can be more productive whilst working less hours.
- How Jess and Stef are implementing an extra day off within their business.
- The surprising flow-on effect for women in the workplace.
