Could Friday afternoons off improve employee wellbeing while preserving client service? Danny Tan and Shirley Kettler join Adrian Tan to discuss Grayling Singapore’s 4.5-day workweek pilot.
The trial was planned for August through the end of 2023. Employees with more than a year of service could take Friday afternoons off, while a core team remained available for urgent client requests.
We explore the design of the pilot and its aims around wellbeing, satisfaction and productivity.
Recorded in August 2023. This episode discusses the pilot at that time, rather than its later results.
