Build Back Better & The 4 Day Week

The Change Show with Simon Phillips

The UK has joined the US, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland and Australia in trialing a 4 day work week. Less hours for the same pay sounds fantastic but there are some pitfalls to watch out for. Simon discusses the issues and shares 5 ways you can Build Back Better and come back from the pandemic strong. The 4 day work week reflects the desire for work life balance in society. As much as the company stats on sites like Yahoo Finance would like us to think it's all about money, career planning has moved on. The explosion of remote jobs during the pandemic, the break in the link between work and travel has revolutionised the job market. As individuals seek to build back better the benefits of 4 day week are clear. We've all learned how to work remotely during Covid 19. There's been a lot of change to the working week with an emphasis on virtual work. The four-day workweek can only enhance that from the perspective of the individual worker. So, instead of asking how will the 4 day week work? Ask yourself how will the 4 day workweek work FOR ME? The problems with a 4-day workweek are visible but if you can be more proactive we can all play our part in a build back better world.
