FULL STORY AT LINK IN BIO.
Custom Ireland has adopted a 4-day work week to benefit its employees, the environment, and business productivity. This new schedule is effective immediately and will be trialed for the first quarter of the year with hopes of becoming a permanent benefit.
The pandemic created a “work from home” scenario that showed improvement in two key areas: reduced environmental impact negatively caused by workers, and increased flexibility in work schedules. Not everyone benefited from the forced structure, however. Some employees also experienced blurred lines between home and work, longer bouts of sitting and less motivation to shut down at the end the day.
With the return to the office and following a very busy year, it was clear to owner/managing director, Crothúr Murphy, that a 4-day work week could return added flexibility to the team to encourage a healthier work/life balance, reduce the company’s negative environmental impact and increase business productivity.
