Episode Overview
A few episodes ago we explored the benefits of the 4-day workweek. In this episode, we delve into the practicalities of how you can try out a 4-day workweek at your nonprofit. Jessica Weitzel joins us to share how her consulting practice, Via Evaluation, developed, implemented, and evaluated a 4-day workweek pilot. Together, she and Dolph share tips for identifying your success metrics, determining your work schedule, preparing your staff for the transition, and communicating your new schedule to your clients and community members. Along the way, Jessica shares the outcomes she and her staff have observed since starting their pilot.
