Work-Week Reduction: The Global Push for a 4-Day Workweek | July 23, 2024

It's coming! If your employees haven't asked for it yet, they will soon. There is a big push in many global markets for a reduced workweek, due to its benefits to both the employee and employer. Some countries are even looking at mandating a 4-day workweek. Although the US is lagging in its consideration of this new approach to the workweek, it won't be long before pressures on our organizations to consider the implications of this change. Rod Lacey, member of Salt Lake SHRM, is one of the very few professionals in the US who has successfully run a 4-day workweek program on a global scale. He will be sharing his insights into the 'movement' as well as the implications to organizations considering the implementation of a program of this nature. Participants will emerge with a better understanding of the global momentum behind this change, learn specific insights into what Rod's organization experienced as one of the pioneer organizations launching this program, and receive some practical insights into how to implement a program, should an organization want to give it a shot.
