Session information

The four-day work week - why we need to change our attitude to work

Tuesday 31 October (1615 - 1730)

Room 242 A, Level 2

Committee(s)

Diversity and Equality Law Committee (Lead)

Description

On average we work for more than 50 years, and then retire. Is this model still fit for purpose in 2023 (if it ever was) or is it time to reassess priorities? After all, no one will remember you for working long hours. This session examines the four-day work week, whether it is part of an unstoppable movement to recalibrate our lives to get better work/life balance, its implications for diversity and inclusion and whether it is an option for all or only the privileged few.
