About this Event
Even before the pandemic gripped the world, we were a nation suffering from unprecedented levels of stress and burnout. Now, nearly a year into our reworked lives — with remote work, childcare duties and nearly every other aspect of our daily routine completely upended — the stress of trying to balance our professional and personal lives is at an all-time high. But according to psychologist Joe Sanok, there is another way. In his new book, , he argues that the traditional five-day workweek, with its deep, historical roots and strong reinforcement from the bygone industrial era, is no longer serving us well.
In this fireside chat, Joe will speak with talent and people operations expert Rose Chan Siow and lay out a prescriptive plan for a shorter workweek, pointing to research that shows how slowing down results in greater innovation over time. He’ll cover the 10 tenets for a newly imagined, four-day workweek, introducing tools to help identify our individual inclinations, develop a curious mindset and outsider’s approach to our work, and timed work sprints to accomplish more in less time.
The last year has proven even to the skeptics that work can be done differently. Will the change be permanent? Or will we, as usual, return to what we know? Will we allow the Industrialist mindset to continue to define our week, or will we reinvent ourselves and our time? Join us for this stimulating discussion and decide for yourself!
