Today's post is submitted by Joyce Maroney, Executive Director of the Workforce Institute.

I was recently a guest on Matt Alder's podcast, Recruiting Future.  We chatted about the results of our recent research that raised the question of whether many jobs could be done in fewer than the traditional 40 hours per week.

During our interview we discussed the research findings and how employers can use these insights to recruit and retain the talent they need. The topics we cover include:

• The conundrum of longer hours and reduced productivity

• What are the key interruptions that effect productively

• How can employers improve the situation

• Is a four day week possible and/or practical?

• The role of leadership

• The logistics of offering unlimited holidays

• Do attitudes vary from country to country?

You can listen to our conversation on the player below:



Our most recent podcast is on the topic of Millennial Managers: how they may differ from older managers and what your organization can do to engage and develop these emerging leaders.  To explore this topic, I invited two well known experts on Millennials in the workplace - Workforce Institute board member Dan Schawbel and Millennial branding expert Bill Connolly.

Dan is a New York Times bestselling author, Partner and Research Director at Future Workplace, and the Founder of both Millennial Branding and WorkplaceTrends.com. He is the bestselling author of two career books: Promote Yourself, and Me 2.0. His third book, Back to Human: How Great Leaders Create Connection in the Age of Isolation, will be published later this year.

Bill Connolly is an improvisational comedian, soft skills expert, speaker, and writer. He is the author of two books including The Success Disconnect: Why The Smartest People Choose Meaning Over Money and Funny Business: Build Your Soft Skills Through Comedy. He maintains a column for Entrepreneur and is a frequent speaker on personal and professional development, mental health, and building soft skills through comedic methodology. By day, Connolly runs content for Monotype, a company providing design assets, technology, and expertise to brands. By night, he is the co-founder and producer of Triple Decker Productions, developing live and digital comedic content.

In our wide ranging conversation, we talked about the factors that have shaped Millennial managers, what motivates them at work, how their communication styles differ from their predecessors, and how their leaders can best develop and engage them.
