4-day week – What you need to know!

Results from Australian trials are out and this radical idea is gaining a lot of traction – including an Australian Senate push for a national trial.

An intriguing question that’s likely circulating among your colleagues right now is what the four-day work week means for your organisation. As an HR and people leader they are likely looking to you for guidance! 

Early research is indicating that the four-day work week could deliver positive outcomes for both leaders and employees across a range of industries. 

We have examined the promising results from the recent Australian trials and prepared a report that steps you through the case for the four-day work week. We set out practical insights to help your organisation evaluate the potential merits and challenges of implementation to better equip you to lead the four-day week conversation.  

The research demonstrates that a high level of leadership capability, agility and change management is needed to navigate workplace change of this magnitude. Leaders need to sustain a continuous improvement posture that provides the emotional safety that their teams will need to realise both productivity savings and employee well-being improvements.
