How NOT to Introduce a Shorter Working Week

19/08/2025 - 19/08/2025

noon - 12:55pm

NTC 1.05

SESSION OVERVIEW

You would think after working in 7 students' unions, 3 as CEO, I'd have some idea of how to successfully research, propose and implement a shorter working week trial wouldn't you? Please learn from my mistakes!

We're halfway through our 12 month trial. What has worked, what would we have done differently and what does the evaluation by the University of Sussex's School of Psychology say is happening to feelings of burnout, mental health, life satisfaction and goal achievement?

Presented by: 

James Hann | CEO, University of Sussex Students' Union
