Joe Ryle is on a mission to change the way we structure our work week -- gone are the 5-day working weeks where people are dead most of the week and looking forward to two days for relief. Join his campaign to persuade corporations and governments to prioritise mental health over stress and low productivity.
Summary
Stress is the workplace crisis that is causing mental health problems around the world. That’s because the average employee is expected to clock in about 40 or 50 hours across five days, with a short two-day reprieve. The short recovery time often means no actual recovery is achieved, which means the previous week’s exhaustion carries over to the next. The accumulation causes burnout and it’s only a matter of time before the workplace is filled with zombies. Tune in for how a 4-day work week could solve all sorts of problems, both expected and unexpected.
