We’ve talked a lot about our 4 day work week, but we want to clear up how it really works for us. It’s not as simple as logging off on Thursday and ignoring work until Monday. Our 4 day work week is all about flexibility and getting things done effectively. It’s not just about working less; it’s about working smarter. Working for a small business takes a lot of passion and commitment. We do enjoy the longer weekend! But we also focus on being fully engaged and focused when we are working, and getting everything done so we hit our goals as a team. We like to think of that fifth day of the week as a flexible, meeting-free day for overflow tasks or personal time. Sometimes, team members might need to check in or finish up a few things. Other times, they can disconnect and use it for personal time. It’s all about taking ownership of our work and being flexible. Have you tried out a 4 day work week? How’s it going for you? If you haven’t, do you think it’s something your team could benefit from?
