TRADEMUTT, Australia’s leading social enterprise workwear company, has shifted its five-day work schedule to four days to promote better work-life balance.
The change in schedule aims to show that reducing working hours per week can still maintain the required output and increase productivity, lessening stress and increasing profitability.
TradeMutt's founders, Daniel Allen and Edward Ross, encourage business owners across Australia to implement a four-day workweek and discuss with their staff how they can support this change.
Ross also highlighted that mental health and wellbeing should be prioritized as it can lead to more effective business operations.
The company is committed to supporting the mental health of blue-collar workers and donates 50% of its profits to This Is A Conversation Starter (TIACS), a free and confidential mental health support service.
TradeMutt designs eye-catching, colorful shirts to encourage conversations about mental health, already being worn by several well-known companies.
