Today I terminated five people at my company for spreading derogatory comments for some of the female employees. This is something Journal Post and myself personally doesn’t tolerate. I urge everyone to do the same if something like this happens at your workplace. At Journal Post we believe in the power of women to change the world. We are proud to stand for women’s empowerment, championing equality, inclusion, and opportunity every step of the way. Empowering women isn’t just the right thing to do-it’s the smart thing to do. Because when women succeed, economies grow, workplaces innovate, and societies become more inclusive. Let’s work together to create an environment where every woman feels empowered to reach her full potential. When women rise, we all rise. #womenempowerment #togetherwerise

Rethinking the Workweek: How a 4-Day Week Benefits Women The traditional five-day workweek can be a challenge for everyone, but for women, it often presents a unique set of obstacles. Balancing work, childcare, and personal well-being can be a constant struggle. Could a four-day workweek be the answer? Here's why a 4-day workweek can be transformative for women: Improved Work-Life Balance: An extra day off allows women to dedicate more time to family, healthcare appointments, or personal pursuits. This can reduce stress and lead to a more fulfilling life overall. Enhanced Productivity: Studies show that a shorter workweek can actually boost productivity. With less time, employees tend to focus more intensely during working hours. Reduced Caregiver Burden: Women often shoulder a larger share of childcare and eldercare responsibilities. A 4-day week can ease this burden, and create a more equitable division of tasks at home. Increased Talent Retention: Companies offering a 4-day week stand out as attractive employers, leading to a happier, more engaged workforce and potentially lower employee turnover, especially among women facing work-life balance challenges. Empowering Career Progression: By reducing burnout and allowing for better time management, a 4-day week can empower women to pursue career development opportunities and leadership roles. It's not just about women: A 4-day workweek benefits everyone. It fosters a more positive work environment, promotes diversity and inclusion by making work more accessible, and contributes to a healthier, happier workforce. What are your thoughts? Has your company explored a 4-day workweek? How do you think it would impact women in the workplace? #4DayWorkWeek #WomenInWork #WorkLifeBalance #FutureOfWork

I'm in! Let's do this! The pandemic has reshaped work globally and we all had a moment to think about what is important in our lives and how to manage our time at work more effectively. I have implemented various alternative work weeks - if not this, I would encourage anyone to take a look at what makes sense for your company.. 1/3 of women are considering taking a job with less hours and stress. We can’t afford to lose women’s contribution to our economic well being and productivity - one size doesn’t fit all - why do we need to make work hours the exact same amount at the exact same time for everyone? Let’s close this economic gender gap in the workforce and help families be successful by giving women the options they need to be successful. Thanks to the World Economic Forum for highlighting the advantages of a 4 day work week! #4dayworkweek #employment #equality

As we collectively journey through the AI revolution, flexible working, shorter working weeks and changes in how people are paid (including further trials and adoption of basic universal incomes), will become mainstream. Early adopters are already seeing the benefits of these practices. There is only one kind #HumanKIND!
