“Why the Four Day Work Week…Works!” with Juliet Schor, Professor at Boston College, author of “Four Days a Week: The Life-Changing Solution for Reducing Employee Stress, Improving Well-Being, and Working Smarter.”

How can a four day week increase productivity while reducing burnout?

Why is a four day week working so well for over 300 companies and thousands of employees?

My guest on this episode is Juliet Schor, Professor at Boston College and author of “Four Days a Week.”

During our conversation Juliet and I discuss:

• Why, despite decades of labor-saving technology, Americans are working longer hours than ever before.
• Why rethinking “productivity” is only part of the business case for a four-day week.
• How work redesign is the key to unlocking both productivity and employee wellbeing.
• How four-day work weeks dramatically improve retention and make organizations an employer of choice.
• Real-world examples of four-day work week in tech startups to large manufacturing and even restaurants.
