Starting March 21st, the Melbourne HR team will be conducting an experiment to assess the efficacy of a 4-day working week. With promising results from studies overseas, we will be testing to see how this new work structure impacts productivity, employee engagement and employee wellbeing, and if the 4-day week truly is the way of the future.
So, before the experiment begins, let’s take a look at the current standard work hours across the globe, and how our work practices will change.
Despite growth and an increase in understanding, gender equality is still an aspiration, not a reality. And this is found quite noticeably in the workplace, where it is reported that 73% of women have experienced bias.
