1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's.

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 2: Get down to the Jonesy demand of arms to the

3
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 2: pub test? The four day work week? Does it pass

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 2: the pub test?

5
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 3: This is what they're trialing in Spain, a government backed

6
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 3: scheme to four day working week. They're saying the benefits

7
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 3: of a shorter working week for employers, increased productivity, are

8
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 3: happier workforce, let's absenteeism, less staff turnover, and of course

9
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 3: the benefits for the employee better mental.

10
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 2: And physical health.

11
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 3: Try and achieve a balance between work and home life.

12
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 3: Two day weekend.

13
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: If there's kids'.

14
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 3: Sports involved, by the time you try and recalibrate and

15
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 3: manage your weekend, there's no time to actually decompress and

16
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 3: prepare yourself for the next week.

17
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 2: And we're all running around like rats. Is that what

18
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 2: we want?

19
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: Is that what you want?

20
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 2: What do you think the four day work week? Does

21
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 2: it pass the pub test?

22
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 4: I think it'd be a great idea. I'm a teacher

23
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 4: and I'm working six days a week as it is,

24
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 4: so I don't really get a recovery time. Even though

25
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 4: we get the holidays, it doesn't compensate to that day in,

26
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 4: day out ride. I think it's fantastic, As Amanda said,

27
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 4: for a mental health it's great.

28
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: I can't see how it will. How's it going to work?

29
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: People working less that means they're going to be getting

30
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: less money, which means they won't be able to afford

31
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: stuff like houses and their food and their bills and

32
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: all the rest of it. I don't know how it's

33
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: going to work. I really don't.

34
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 4: Yes it does. I work for a small accounting firm.

35
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 4: Instead of working five days nine to five, we worked

36
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 4: four days eight or six, and we all had a

37
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 4: different day off a week, one Monday, one till Wednesday,

38
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 4: one till Friday, and less suit days.

39
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: More productivity that makes perfect sense was that of a

40
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 3: flexi day.

41
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: I remember the good old days of a flexi day.

42
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 2: That's a mental health day, absolutely of

43
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,040
