Pleased to announce EPIC is now a Gold Accredited Four-Day Week organisation.
We have been four-days for 3 years - it works well. So much has been learnt.
I spend part of my time helping organisations to consider what the working week looks like for them.
Interested to know more? Message me.

If the world of work isn't working quite so well for your organisation, why not fix it?

In Chapter 10 of Making Hybrid Working Work (pre-order from the link in comments) I talk about how teams need to operate differently in the new world of work.

In Ch9 of Making Hybrid Working Work (pre-order - link in comments) I set out how to contract with hybrid employees, how to spot what help they need & deliver that via different processes & interactions.
You shouldn't leave all that to chance. Now, you don't have to.

Ch 7 of Making Hybrid Working Work (www.koganpage.com/hr-learning-...) covers how we craft the right, distinct, employee experience for different demographic groups. I explore the touchpoints in the employee lifecycle that are changed in hybrid work & how to get that right.

We do not have cats. However this one (and his smaller sister) lives nearby and regularly comes onto the sloping roof outside our bedroom and miaows until we open the window to let him in. Often this is well before we want to get up.
I repeat, we do not have cats.
