Welcome to episode twenty-six of The EXperience Lounge! A weekly podcast dedicated to EX design, the future of work, and digital HR.
In this episode, Laura and Sasha discuss the concept of the four-day work week. COVID seems to have sparked a revival of the debate around whether we should be working five days per week anymore and we're excited about it! In this episode, we explain what the movement is behind working four days per week, the pros and cons and the implications for EX teams everywhere.
