Greece introduces 6-day working week 📢 In a bid to boost economic growth and improve productivity levels, Greece will now allow employees to work up to 48 hours a week instead of the usual 40. This new law, which came into effect in July, targets 24-hour industries and offers 40% extra pay for those who opt for the extra hours. This move comes as a surprise to other European and US workplaces as they all continue to look at adopting a 4-day working week. Trials of the four-day workweek have shown overwhelmingly positive results, boosting productivity and improving employee well-being. The biggest concern about Greece's six-day workweek is around its sustainability. Pushing workers to complete longer hours could lead to burnout, reducing overall productivity in the long run. In contrast, the four-day workweek helps employees stay refreshed and ready to work each week. So, we want to hear what working week model you think will be most effective going forward for organisations! Answer the poll below to have your say on this discussion. 📊 #Poll #Greece #News #6dayworkingweek

During our ERUPT: Excellence in Leadership Conference 2023, Becky Finnegan, Associate Director at Annapurna, hosted an insightful session on "Tackling Disparity & Inequality".   The session featured Amanda Rajkumar, formerly Executive Board Member, Global Human Resources, People & Culture of adidas and now a Contributing Author at Raconteur | B Corp™.   Amanda highlighted the need for decision-making that adapts to our unpredictable work climate, emphasising the need for diverse teams with different perspectives. Despite wanting to move faster and reach a quick decision, Amanda explained why taking time and involving various teams and individuals in the decision-making process is crucial. This ensures that every possibility is explored, resulting in a much more valuable outcome than rushing through.   Watch Amanda's highlights below to see why this approach matters. 👇 #HR #Diversity #Equality

"What do employees gain from your ability to predict outcomes?"🤔💭 Continuing our theme of resharing the valuable insights from our ERUPT: Excellence in Leadership Conference in 2023, we look again at the discussion on "HR by Numbers: Decisions, Retention & High Performance," hosted by Joseph Nabarro, Associate Director at Annapurna. We were thrilled to have Alison Minns, Founding Director at One Life Consulting LTD and now Head of Culture Activation at bp, join the discussion. Alison, with her natural talent for people, highlighted the importance of understanding the need to know WHY you're using people analytics from your employees' point of view. Drawing on her extensive experience, Alison recognised that many organisations these days tend to collect data on their employees for the simple fact that they 'can,' it's crucial to define the purpose from the employees' point of view. Without this, the data holds little value. Find out what else Alison had to say on this topic by watching her highlights clip below. ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/gw8p2qSS #HR #PeopleAnalytics #Data
