Featured on BBC Worklife: How AI helped us move to a 4-day week

Featured on BBC Worklife

Embracing a four-day workweek has revolutionised our business, bringing a surge in productivity and significant time savings for our consultants.

Our journey caught the spotlight in a recent BBC Worklife article, where Shayne Simpson, our Group Managing Director, shared insights into how the integration of AI and automation in 2020 transformed our recruitment process.

The article doesn’t just stop at us—it sheds light on how other businesses are also leveraging AI to do the same. It’s clear that embracing technology is a widespread trend, with companies across industries adopting innovative solutions to streamline operations and boost efficiency. Although many businesses are starting to see the value that AI and automation bring, many are still yet to implement it – and the same goes for a condensed work week.

This timesaving allows our team to achieve their weekly goals earlier in the week and the flexibility liberates our consultants from being tethered to their desks, enabling them to enjoy a well-deserved Friday off.”

As we reflect on the impact of our shortened workweek, it’s evident that our commitment to innovation positions us as a frontrunner in adopting cutting-edge strategies for the evolving workplace.

Our move to a four-day workweek reflects our commitment to staying ahead by embracing technology in the dynamic business landscape.
