Razi Iman, Anupam Singh and Jenna Kerr of 113 Industries step up to the One Mic Stand for a candid discussion on moving to a 32-hour, four-day work week.

They discuss the need for flexibility and work-life balance and the potential benefits of increased productivity and employee satisfaction with a shorter work week. 

To unlock a shorter work week there were numerous obstacles to overcome, including communication with customers, ensuring cultural alignment and bucking the current system of higher wages for more hours worked.

More than six months into the new work schedule, 113 Industries is happy with the switch. Listen and learn how your company could do the same thing.
