About This Session

In this online seminar, we explore the move to more flexible and efficient working patterns with researcher Dr Charlotte Rae from Sussex University. In the session we will:

• Explore the four day week movement,
• Learn about the research on why it matters and who benefits from it exploring issues of wellbeing, burnout and performance,
• Hear how moving to different working patterns affects our bodies and brains and impacts our performance and productivity, and
• Discuss what sort of “adjustments” need to be made for organizations to successfully move to a four-day week.

As always, our seminars are fast-paced and engaging and include theory, practical application and top tips so you can not only learn the content but start to bring it to life in your own world of work.

This session is completely free, but if you'd like to make a donation to support these sessions, you're welcome to do so by selecting a "donation" ticket and contributing what you wish.

"the material was not what I expected because it was even better than I imagined, and I expected good content. It was so robust, and so considered from all kinds of angles and impacts"

"James and Jane make such a great pairing too - they have really good chemistry and strike the perfect balance in the sessions of taking it seriously and covering the info properly, without it being too heavy going or overwhelming. Bravo!"

"Really practical advice and guidance that I was able to apply straight away in interactions with staff I line manage and work side by side with"

"Great session, relaxed but professional and good to hear personal reflections rather than purely scripted, theoretical content as I've experienced in some similar webinars"
