Trailer: Soundbites talking about the Four Day Week with Debbie Bailey
Description
In these five minutes of SoundBites from Episode 80 of Coffee and Contemplation, Debbie Bailey, Consultant Partner at 4 Day Week Global, discusses the implementation of a four-day work week in a nonprofit organisation and explores the challenges and benefits it brings. Bailey shares her extensive experience in the not-for-profit sector, detailing the steps she took to propose and test the four-day week initiative. She highlights issues such as staff attraction, retention, and burnout in the mental health sector and how the reduced work week positively impacted these areas. The episode also addresses common misconceptions about the four-day work week, emphasising the importance of innovation, communication, and trust in making such changes successful. Real-world examples, including a U.S. police service, are cited to demonstrate the feasibility of the four-day week in client-facing roles.
