In his TEDx Talk, Joe Ryle explores the outdated nature of the current nine-to-five, five-day workweek and argues for the need for a more modern approach to work. He discusses how despite a dramatic increase in productivity and technological advancements across the world, working hours have not reduced.
He advocates for a widespread adoption of the four day week which has been shown time and time again to improve people’s lives, and even have positive impacts on business, too. Joe is calling for a cultural shift, for us to embrace this change as it may be an inevitable part of our future anyway, due to artificial intelligence and new technology.
Joe Ryle is Director of the 4 Day Week Campaign, Media and Comms Lead at the think tank Autonomy, and a former adviser to Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell MP and former Labour Party Press Officer. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
