This combined with being remote would make me stay with a company for a lifetime rather than free food, office parties, etc. It would be a game changer

>Although it started out as an endeavour to make hiring and retaining employees easier, Blackwell said that it “became something much bigger,” creating a more productive environment during working hours and improving the mood among staff, in addition to seeing a boost in profits.
Ffs this shouldn’t come at a shock to anyone. Giving people back their time absolutely leads to increased productivity, happier staff, low turnover etc.
Of course it’s a recruitment company
At first glance I thought it was those Turas Nua people.
Did they give them coke too?
make my working week 10 hrs x 4 and you can have the extra half hour for free
Also makes it possible to share childcare between five families, each family taking all the kids for one day a week.
I worked 4 days in a previous job and it was amazing, I still had to do 40 hours but having a 3 day weekend actually feels like you can rest and get things done.
Also with some shift swaps and using a holiday day, I got a week off nearly every month.
It sounds nice in theory, but given cost of living how many people end up working the fifth day somewhere else anyway.
