For maximum flexibility, and hopefully also some productivity gains, I'd implement a four-day work week by giving the employee ongoing discretion to use Monday, Wednesday, or Friday as their third "weekend" day, and encourage limiting meetings to Tuesdays and Thursdays, as much as possible.
- vorg 8y agoThis caters for everyone -- some employees would prefer to take Wednesdays off, while others would prefer three-day weekends. Some of the "work hard play hard" workers, though, would alternate between Mondays and Fridays off so every second weekend is four days long, giving plenty of time for hiking or travel. Others in the "work-life balance" crowd would want to continue working a 5-day week but only 6 hours each day, giving time for daily pickups from school or late night hobbies. Better limit those Tuesday and Thursday meetings to between 10am to 3pm, excluding lunch.
