1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: This is jam Nation with Jonesy and a four day

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: work week? Does it pass the pub test? Well than

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: a dozen companies in Australia and New Zealand to set

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: to take part in a four day working week trial.

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: This has been conducted all around the world. In Australia's

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: six month pilot's going to begin in August, company employees

7
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: at twenty companies will work one day less a week

8
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: with no cut to their pay, but they have to

9
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: maintain their one hundred percent of their productivity. Can it work?

10
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 2: Can it?

11
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: What do you think four day work week? Does it

12
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: pass the pub test?

13
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 2: I think if you have a four day working week,

14
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 2: you have higher productivity during that time because you know

15
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: you're working towards that extra day off, so you're going

16
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 2: to be working more diligently, stilling in your day. You're

17
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: already working longer hours probably, so why not just have

18
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: that bonus dy off to actually recoup and work better

19
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: in the working week.

20
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 3: I would love to be able to have a four

21
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 3: day working week, and I think it would work, but

22
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,959
Speaker 3: in my industry it doesn't actually work because we work

23
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 3: twenty four.

24
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 2: To seven and it has to be on site.

25
00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 3: It's the emergency services.

26
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 4: I used to work as a point eight of a person,

27
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 4: so four days a week, only getting paid for four

28
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 4: days a week. But I used to work if not

29
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 4: more than one hundred percent of my time. So I

30
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 4: just went back to full time because I thought I

31
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 4: might as well get paid for the work that I do.

32
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 4: So I think that people can definitely get one hundred

33
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 4: percent of the work done in four days, get one hundred.

34
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: Percent past of the pub test. Now, Jones, is that

35
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: a rhetorical question or what that is?

36
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 3: A big hell? Yes, part of the pub test easily easily.

37
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: I mean we can't do it only and as that

38
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: call us at emergency Services. It's not going to suit

39
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: every industry. But if you can, it sounds terrific. Maybe

40
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: we could phone it in on a Friday like you

41
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: have for the last twenty years.
