We invited Meghan Keany Anderson, CMO of the wanderlust Group on the podcast to ask her how smaller businesses can compete for talent in an employee-driven marketplace.We ask Meghan about the practicalities of implementing a 4 day work week, does it help with employer branding when trying to source and attract new talent and what insights she can give us about the benefits and pitfalls (if any) from a company that has been walking the walk for the last 18 months.
