Opinion Stress less: Why we shouldn’t fear the four-day working week
Dogs in offices. Flexible work hours. Mental health days. It may sound simplistic, but most workplace change stems from an employee wanting to improve their life and a leader brave enough to listen and implement.
As the world opened up, burnout never came, however the long-lasting feeling of exhaustion did. Online messaging reverted to conversations, and Zoom calls became workshops, talks and whatever we could get our hands on. It was a new, tangible, post-COVID world. 4 Day Week Global reports that 78 per cent of employees working four-day weeks are happier and less stressed. In short, we should all work less. Let’s create space to personally thrive whether it’s through doing, resting or reflecting. Let’s put family and friends first and go in to work ready to give our all.
