Reimagining Work: How a Four-Day Week Could Heal Workplace Trauma

There is an element of professional development or career advancement or simply survival in the workplace that leaves a mark that we would be wise to try to understand and to help everybody move past.
Imagine shaving a day off your work week. Sounds dreamy, right? In this episode of 'The Story of Our Trauma', Dr. Shauna Springer sits down with Alex Soojung-Kim Pang, a consultant and author known for his groundbreaking books like 'SHORTER: Work Better, Smarter, and Less - Here’s How'.
They dive into the idea that a four-day work week could be more than just a perk; it might actually be a remedy for the toxic environments many of us endure at work. Pang argues that our current work culture often exploits and wears us down, leading to burnout and blurred lines between personal and professional life. But what if we could change that?
By adopting a shorter work week, companies could not only boost productivity but also foster healthier relationships among employees and rebuild those crucial boundaries between work and home life. The conversation doesn't stop there. They also tackle the unique challenges of remote work and how being mindful of workplace trauma can lead to a more supportive and productive environment. If you're curious about how fewer workdays could mean more well-being, this episode is a must-listen.
