The 4-day Week And Remote Work Revolution: The link between flexible work, sustainability, and organisational success

24 Jun 2025
People & Careers Hub
Sector: Net-Zero Business
Alex will share Peak PEO's journey of implementing and thriving with a 4-day work week and fully remote model - moving beyond theory to real-world application.

This talk challenges traditional notions of productivity, exploring how measuring output rather than hours worked creates more sustainable businesses and happier teams. Drawing from Peak's own experience as a 4-day week accredited company, Alex will reveal the tangible benefits: improved recruitment, enhanced retention, reduced burnout, and stronger business results.

The session will connect these progressive workplace practices to broader sustainability goals - showing how flexible work models reduce environmental impact while creating more inclusive, accessible employment opportunities for diverse talent globally.

Attendees will learn:
• The business case for reimagining traditional work structures
• Practical implementation strategies and how to overcome common obstacles
• How to measure success beyond traditional productivity metrics
• Ways to build and maintain strong remote culture and team cohesion
• How these approaches position organisations to attract purpose-driven talent

Rather than presenting these practices as nice-to-have perks, Alex will demonstrate why they're becoming competitive necessities for forward-thinking organisations looking to thrive in a changing world of work.
