This week’s CHANGEMAKER is HAZEL GAVIGAN, Director of Communications at 4 DAY WEEK GLOBAL, which is on a mission to create a million new years of free time globally.

Join us to find out how you can work 80% of your week for 100% of your pay, and be happier, healthier and more productive into the bargain!  And working a reduced hour week is not just good for society and for business, it's also good for the environment. 

HAZEL GAVIGAN: "It's very clear to us, given the momentum that is currently behind this movement, that it's not a matter of if the four-day week will become commonplace. It's a matter of when."

In this week's edition of the HR Grapevine podcast, host Kieran Howells sits down once again with Gethin Nadin, an award winning author who serves as CIO at Zellis, and Jacqui Summons, a prominent Chief People Officer herself, and an NED at Zellis. 

The trio explore some fresh and often under-considered elements in the ongoing debate around remote working, and employee experience. 

As Nadin highlights in the conversation, "a lot of people are clearly still grappling with what remote working or hybrid working looks like."

Live At Five on Cork City Community radio
A couple of weeks ago, I was at the washing machines in the garage with my rugs. While i was waiting for my wash to finish, I went and did some shopping and when I returned, a camper van had pulled in. 
My nose got the better of me, so I went over and introduced myself. 
The van is owned by Jorge Mos and Erica González Mouriño who share the space with  their two amazing dogs, Baloo and Africa.  
Erica and Jorge invited me for tea and we had the loveliest chat about life, running their own small businesses' and living a sustainable life with their dogs in a motorhome.
I am genuinely so inspired by these young people and want to thank them for taking the time to talk to me.

This week, Niall and Dusty talk about Samsung's thinnest-ever smartphone which delivers the same powerhouse camera as the Ultra but in a dramatically slimmer package. Is extreme thinness the future, or just a gimmick?

We continue to monitor Big Tech's stealth layoff strategy where Microsoft's performance improvement plans are actually targeting 6,000 jobs and what this means for your career. Plus the EU could be causing an online advertising earthquake by outlawing how cookies work.

In this week's interview we dive into a fascinating conversation about how creative industries might actually learn to embrace AI with Dr Martin Clancy.
