36. 4-Day Work Week 101: A Crash Course for Business Owners and Leaders Apr 25, 2023

Show notes

Is the 4-day work week about working hard or hardly working? Is it a passing fad or the future of work? Can it improve well-being or is it a flawed solution for more complex workplace challenges? And perhaps most importantly, how can businesses afford it?!

We answer these questions and more in this week's episode. Whether you’re a believer or a sceptic, we offer an introduction on the dos, don’ts and hows of transitioning to a 4-day work week.

To help us, we’re joined by three expert guests:

Joe O’Connor

Joe is Director & Co-Founder at Work Time Reduction Centre of Excellence and Former former CEO at 4 Day Week Global, the organisation behind the hugely successful 4-day work week global pilot. A dynamic changemaker and leader, Joe supported over 200 employers and 10,000 employees to make the transition to reduced-hour, productivity-focused working in 2022.

Banks Benitez

Banks is a formidable business leader and expert in the future of work. As CEO of Uncharted, he led the company through a rebrand, and strategic pivot, and rolled out a new strategy of building partnerships with brands like Chipotle, Facebook, and NBC that doubled the size of the organization. In 2020, he moved Uncharted to a 4-day workweek in 2020, and were named by Outside Magazine one of the 50 best places to work in the US.

Fery Kaszoni

Fery is the Founder & Managing Director of Search Intelligence Ltd, a leading digital PR agency that owns and operates dozens of web and SAAS platforms and useful online tools, with a network of websites reaching millions of users every month. In May 2020, Fery transitioned his business and 40+ employees to a 4-day work week, with the announcement on LinkedIn garnering more than 120,000 reactions in just three days.

If you want to avoid being caught up in the latest workplace fad and understand how to profitably shift to a 4-day work week, this episode is a must-listen!
