It is time to have a serious conversation about the revolution of work. Being stuck in 20th century-influenced ways of working are making us less productive and unhealthier. #4DayWeek is the #FutureofWork
The aim of 4 Day Week - Global is to implement a 100-80-100™ principle of work. 100% of the pay, for 80% of the time, in exchange for a commitment to delivering 100% of the output. If we live up to societies expectations of the 'ideal worker' we set ourselves up for a live of poor wellbeing and health. We used to work a 6-day work until we found it was bad for business and bad for people. We're now working a 5-day week knowing it is bad for business and bad for people. 4 Day Week is the #FutureOfWork
