BONUS: How does the Four Day Week actually work? Ask Me Anything
If you’ve listened to How I Work for a while, you’ve definitely heard me talk about the Four Day Week, and how much we love it at Inventium. But if you want to implement the practice at your own organisation, you probably have a lot of questions… Doesn’t a four day week just mean longer working days? Should everyone take the same day off, or is it better to stagger? And of course, how do you know if the practice is suited to your business? In a recent virtual Ask-Me-Anything, I sat down with Inventium’s Head of Consulting, Zoe Aitken, and a remote crowd of curious workers to answer all these questions and more. We cover everything from common problems and workarounds to highly specific case studies and experiments we’ve run at Inventium, so if you’ve ever wondered how the Four Day Week works, this is for you. If you’re looking for any of the resources we mentioned in the live conversation, you can find them below: Perpetual Guardian: The Four Day Week is Here Freedom.to Measure What Matters by John Doerr How to run a Four Day Week experiment Andrew Barnes’ TED Talk on the Four Day Week *** My new book Time Wise is out now.
