In this episode of Work Is Weird Now, hosts Alice and Dan sit down with Founder at Marvel FMCG Rich Howell to explore a bold shift in workplace culture: the four-day work week.
As the leader of a UK based recruitment company, Rich shares how his ADHD diagnosis and recent ADHD burnout shaped his decision to prioritise employee well-being - challenging outdated work models and embracing a more flexible future.
Together, they break down the history of the five-day work week, the challenges of transitioning to a shorter schedule, and the unexpected benefits, from increased trust and performance to reduced burnout.
Rich also shares his experience about neurodiversity, being diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 41, learning about neurodiversity in the workplace, sharing insights on creating inclusive environments where all employees can thrive.
If you're curious about the future of work, the power of flexibility, and how neurodivergence can shape leadership, this conversation is for you.
