“Midwest Fire and Security has experienced sustained growth in recent years, and they recognised that to retain and recruit both existing and new talent, they had to think outside the box. Peter Mernagh had been thinking about how to improve his employee’s work/life balance in recent years and by partnering with ourselves, we were able to assist in providing a pathway to make it happen.
The introduction of a 4-day week can be beneficial but only if the employees buy into the reasons behind the change and understand how their responsibilities to the employer will change as a result. We assisted the Midwest Fire and Security team in communicating the change clearly and how it would benefit all parties. In addition, the recruitment response has been fantastic as new recruits are extremely keen to work for full pay on a reduced working week for a modern and progressive Company.”
