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.
