The founder of an Ontario company that tested out a four-day work week for her employees says she will never go back to working a full week.
Jamie Savage, CEO and founder of Toronto-based recruitment company The Leadership Agency, implemented a four-day full work week for employees in October 2020.
Savage said she noticed during the pandemic that her employees were burnt-out and she wanted to help them improve their quality of life.
"I thought, why don’t we just do a four-day work week.
Savage said her employees were using the extra time off to relax, attend fitness classes or even attend therapy sessions.
She says for her company, the benefit of the four-day work week "outweighs everything else in the end.".
When asked if Savage would ever consider going back to a traditional five-day work week, her answer is pretty clear. »
