The traditional Monday to Friday 9 – 5 working week is vastly becoming a thing of the past, and it’s time to embrace a new way of working. A 4-day working week improves employees’ work life balance and has been proven to increase productivity and job satisfaction, amongst other benefits. At Friday’s 4-day working week Masterclass, the You HR team will delve into the reasons why it’s time to change.
They will share their own success story and the lessons they have learned from implementing a 4-day working week at You HR Consultancy. Jonna and her colleagues will also guide you through the practicalities you need to consider, such as preserving customer satisfaction, resource planning and workload distribution.
But it’s not just about theory – delegates will also be provided with practical tips and strategies on how to implement a 4-day working week in their own organisation successfully. Whether you are a small business owner or a leader within a larger organisation, you will leave with the tools and knowledge you need to bring about positive change and transformation in your workplace.
More Background
The idea of a 4-day work week is not a new one, but it has gained more attention in recent years. Essentially, the concept is that instead of working a traditional 5-day work week, employees would work four 8-hour days and have three days off.
Proponents of the 4-day work week argue that it could lead to a number of benefits. One of the most significant is that it could improve work-life balance for employees, as they would have more time to pursue personal interests, spend time with family and friends, and take care of household tasks. This, in turn, could lead to greater job satisfaction, reduced stress, and better mental health.
Additionally, supporters of a 4-day work week suggest that it could lead to increased productivity. By condensing work into a shorter period of time, employees may be more focused and efficient, and less prone to distractions or burnout. This could lead to higher quality work and better outcomes for both employees and employers.
There’s no doubt that the 4-day working week has plenty of advantages but it isn’t for everyone and some businesses can’t consider it due to the nature of their business.
We look forward to seeing you on Friday and hearing more from the experts at You HR.
