RyanMae joins us to talk about how her team came to the decision to roll out a 4 day workweek. I’ve heard this talked about a lot but excited to finally speak with someone who’s successfully launched it for their organization. It may not be for every organization but Ryan shares how they came to the decision, rolled it out, where some of the pitfalls are, how they manage it and what it’s done for their company. We also dig into her time at the Transform HR Show, some stories of the ski season and how she started her career in HR at a ski resort. It’s a great conversation and Ryan is just so awesome to speak with!
