Four days of work, 100 per cent of the pay — that might sound like a fantastic idea for employees. But there's a lot of benefit to a reduced work-week for employers as well, says professor John Trougakos. He joins the Executive Summary to talk about why a four day work week is better for employees, what it means for organizations, and how companies can actually make a shorter week work. Show notes[0:00] In February 2023, news broke that a wide-scale experiment that shortened the traditional five-day work week to four days – without an associated reduction in pay – was a success. [0:50] 91 per cent of the participants in the experiment decided to continue, reporting that their employees were happier, more engaged and more productive.[1:12] Meet John Trougakos, a professor of organizational behaviour and HR management at the University of Toronto. He's an expert in employee well-being, productivity, and recovery, and he's been studying four-day work weeks for years. [1:44] His research is conclusive: to increase performance, companies need to give employees a break. [1:52] So as companies look at their post-COVID office structure, what does this mean? [2:27] How did we get to five days in the office, and has a four-day work week been tried before? [3:08] Those previous attempts failed because they tried to compress 40 hours into just four days. In comparison, the latest attempts are experimenting with a 32-hour week, which might be why it succeeds now. [3:55] Studies show that business leaders are increasingly on board. [4:32] And the pandemic proved to be a massive change management experiment, showcasing that things can be done differently…so businesses are more open to trying something a little different. [5:32] That's probably important since employees want a shorter work week, especially as burnout continues to rise. [6:24] Burnout is costing businesses billions each year. [7:04] What is emotional exhaustion, and how does it manifest? [8:22] Time off and breaks play a crucial role in emotional exhaustion and burnout recovery.[9:52] So a four-day work week might be a great opportunity for businesses to give their employees time to properly recover. How do you go about implementing it. [10:03] You have to talk to employees and don't be afraid to seek outside help.[10:46] Approach a four-day work week like a big change management project – it's a great opportunity to find new efficiencies as well.[11:58] And don't forget to communicate – to everyone – how you're going to pull it off. [1:21] Avoid the pitfall of doing the work and not rewarding your employees. [12:59] If a four-day work week doesn't work for your company, consider alternatives that still give your employees a meaningful break. [13:51] Companies are made up of people – they are your most important asset. So treat them well, and they will give back to you. [14:37] “We don't want to just keep weighing people down, if you can find an opportunity to reward people for their efficiency and their productivity and their performance. People will give back more at the end of the day.”

A German survey, a (huge) British study, research from Australia — all make a strong case for the four-day work week. So what's the hang-up?
The move to at-home work has opened new opportunities but also created new challenges to workplace cohesion and accountability. Our specialist on Christ-centered priorities in various aspects of our lives, counselor Christopher Anderson, offers insights on how employees have responsibilities to maintain productivity standards, even if their job has them "out of the office" part or all of the workweek. He describes it as a spiritual issue. Also on this edition of "Real Answers", Anderson speaks to the challenges employers have in recruiting a full staff, and how today's realities and intentional behaviors can help young adults thrive and advance more quickly, as they launch their careers. This feature is matched with a parallel conversation on how employers can demonstrate affirmation to their staff. Listen to the March 29 edition of Real Answers from Family Life.

“Team members should be treated in the same way as customers.” If you repeat this statement often but it's false day-to-day, it produces cognitive dissonance in your culture, allowing bad habits and toxicity to form.

Listen to this episode to learn how to eliminate cognitive dissonance within your company and show generosity, purpose, and vision to attract the next generation.

What made that happen? Were you always fascinated with technology? Why make that leap?16:50 So I think it's important, and companies will have to put a stake in the ground and say they are actually going to prioritize innovation. Do you see more of an appetite for that or does it just depend on the company?18:39 Looking forward to emerging technology that's coming, between looking at AI, blockchain, and immersive technology, do you see some opportunities there for companies to begin to layer on even more efficiencies through visualization, digital twin, and even some of these newer technologies?27:30 If you could project yourself 20 years into the future, and if you could have any product or service or gadget or thing, that for you, would make your life better or make you personally happy, what would it be and what would it do?
