Wellbeing Australia are delighted to host a panel discussion – The 4-Day Work Week – Learnings from Across the Globe.
We will be joined by Charlotte Lockhart, Nikki Beaumont and Simon Ursell in conversation about the 4 Day Work Week, and its connection to wellbeing and productivity.
This discussion is for anyone interested in learning more about this global phenomenon, and curious about real world experiences in a US Police Force, an Australia recruitment company and a UK consulting company.
