The Last Word Your thoughts on four-day work weeks

We took to our social media platforms to ask the MARCH8 community their thoughts on some of today’s most current topics

THIS MONTH’S QUESTION:

Would you like your company to introduce four-day work weeks?

“I think getting the work/life balance right is tough for women. We try to be superwomen and sometimes the demands we put on ourselves are just impossible to live up to. I’m all for a three-day weekend and having a day a week to relax and reflect. The COVID-19 pandemic has taught us all that our health is our wealth and that the world doesn’t stop if we take a minute’s pause.”

VIKKI CARLEY DAVIES

“Absolutely! Getting a work/life balance is very important. I often take time out of my day, have a day off or even have extended lunch breaks to readjust. It helps tremendously!”

MARCELA BOYLE

“I'd love it! Really, we have such a short time on this earth, I feel that we need a better work/life balance to fully take advantage of everything the world has to offer. Mental health concerns – anxiety, burnout, stress, depression – have risen massively among both children and adults around the globe, and a lot of evidence points towards our fast-paced, results-orientated lifestyles.
