Managing redundancy & embracing the four day work week

Can a four-day work week truly revolutionise the way we approach productivity and work-life balance?

On this episode of the Employment Law Pod, Andy Whiteaker and Helen Goss tackle this intriguing question and much more. Redundancy is a complex and often emotionally charged topic. The episode begins by discussing suitable alternative roles, emphasizing that what constitutes a “suitable” role can be highly subjective. 

But that’s not all—we also shift gears and explore the increasingly popular concept of a four-day work week. Initial scepticism has given way to promising results from trials in the UK and beyond, showing that fewer workdays can actually boost productivity. However, the four-day work week is not without its challenges, Andy and Helen provide valuable insights into how businesses can navigate these challenges.

Don’t miss out on this fascinating discussion that could potentially redefine the future of work.
