We're LIVE in 10 minutes with @clarekumar & @dessalen to discuss opportunities & realities around a 4-day work week. Join us for a lively discussion & an opportunity to participate in #crowdsourcing in real time. Register here: bddy.me/34lzo5k #TeVE #TeVirtualEvents
4 day work week - Should we? Could we? What is the reality of a 4 day work week? We will talk about real life examples, output vs hours, and rightsizing your life. #TeVirtualEvents #TeVE
The 5-day work week was a revelation! Henry Ford helped things shift from 6-day work week to 5 back in 1908. #TeVirtualEvents #TeVE #HenryFord
If you didn't get a chance to participate in our #Thoughtexchange around this topic, no worries! We will leave it open for a while. Here are the survey questions (and stats) we asked in our exchange. #TeVirtualEvents #Crowdsourcing #TeVE
"An overwhelming number of people are saying: why should we accept less money!?" @dessalen
Are you addicted to work? Are you already working 50 hrs/week? Some people are feeling that if they move down to a 4-day work week, they will be able to stick to working the 40 hrs req'd
Themes! #CareerAdvancement is a theme in this exchange. ⏬⏬ #TeVirtualEvents #TeVE
Job sharing - Would you consider this? This has been slightly more successful in Europe than North America, are we ready to try this? We need to shift our mindset around this. This is not to be overlooked as a retention strategy! #TeVirtualEvents #TeVE
We ran this same exchange before COVID, here are the pre-COVID results. People were very keen to try it and figured that it was a great idea. #TeVirtualEvents #TeVE
We ran this exchange again, more recently. Post-COVID, themes are different! People are more concerned about their career advancement and a reduction in pay for remote work. #workfromhome #beyondCOVID
What is stopping us now? ⏬⏬ Do you feel more productive working from home? Or less? Can you really be cognitively focused for 8 hours in a day? Try smaller shifts throughout the day with some body movement in between. #WFH #TeVE #TeVirtualEvents
Turn off all your notifications! Give yourself the gift of CALM. - @clarekumar

This will dramatically help your productivity. #TeVirtualEvents #TeVE
4-day work week as a way to secure more jobs for more people. This is keeping more people in a comfortable position, rather than setting us up for 20% of us to fail. #TeVE #TeVirtualEvents
Flexibility - The idea of a non-traditional work week, 4 day work week, job sharing - These all get put in the same category around "Flexibility". There are so many different versions of this! Some want compressed hours. Some want more flexibility within the 5-day work week.
We need to be designing our work week for optimum productivity based on our cognitive functions. Here is an example of a non-traditional work week that has been successful for nurses in Sweden. More work days, less hours. #TeVirtualEvents #TeVE
Is non-traditional work associated with a less safe work environment? Leadership biases can contribute to this. Is the first person at work is the most "fresh" and productive as opposed to the last person at work who works until 7 or 8 pm and at risk of injury? #TeVirtualEvents
Becoming your own CFO - Chief Fulfillment Officer

Are you happy? What needs to be in your life & career to make it what you want? TUNE in (to yourself) before you LEAN in (to your goals).

Don't get pulled along in life. #TeVirtualEvents @clarekumar
Thoughts and questions about today's #TeVE are coming in now through our #Thoughtexchange. Here's how it works ⏬⏬ #BringPeopleTogether #KeepPeopleConnected #TeVirtualEvents #Crowdsourcing
Is the office-based, knowledge worker the only type of worker that can be effective working from home? @clarekumar thinks that now is a time for #leadership to embrace this as a work/life redesign opportunity! We can construct a different future! #workfromhome #4dayworkweek #TeVE
Top thoughts from today's Q&A exchange⏬

@clarekumar talks about the "Compassion Crack" 💜 Leaders can learn how to widen this “crack” to improve #companyculture. Clare is also offering some free downloads & videos to help you have a better work from home experience. She's been #WFH for 20+ years! #TeVirtualEvents #TeVE
A very interesting & active conversation today! So many thoughts shared in the chatbox from our attendees, thank you to all who joined us & participated, including our engaging hosts, @clarekumar & @dessalen 💜 Stay tuned for the replay link ▶️⏯️ #TeVE #TeVirtualEvents
