4 - Day Week Webinar

Join us for a focused webinar exploring the benefits, challenges, and practical steps of implementing a 4-day working week in your organization.
In this episode, we share how the 4-day working week went from idea to reality across multiple manufacturing sites. You’ll hear how we trialled the shift with people-first thinking, data-driven decisions, and flexibility at the heart of the process.
We cover union conversations, contract changes, phased rollouts, and how we managed customer expectations and key performance indicators. Learn how we tackled fairness across roles and shifts, used overtime wisely, and what we would do differently if starting again.
If you want to understand how a 4-day week can work in complex operational environments, this episode is for you.
In this episode you will learn:
- How to design trials while keeping flexibility central
- Which KPIs matter most for success
- Balancing customer needs with shift fairness
- Lessons learned and what we would change
