Could a 4-Day Week Work in Manufacturing?
The 4-day working week is a hot topic . But could it really work in manufacturing?
In this live webinar, we’ll be joined by three leaders from UK manufacturing businesses who’ve already made the shift. We’ll ask them about the real-world pros and cons, how it’s affected their operations, and what they’d do differently.
Andy Scott – Head of HR, Darchem Engineering
Leanne Hume – HR Manager, Ford Aerospace
Nigel Freeman – Erwin Hymer, Head Of Motorised Manufacturing
This isn’t a sales pitch for the 4-day week. It’s a space to be honest with practical insight so you can decide if it might be right for your business.
We’ll explore:
🔹 Why they considered a 4-day week in the first place
🔹 What’s worked well and what’s been difficult
🔹 How it’s affected production, teams, recruitment and retention
🔹 What they’d recommend other manufacturing leaders consider before trying it
This session is for:
- Curious manufacturing leaders and owners
- HR and operations professionals weighing up flexible working models
- Anyone wanting a realistic, balanced view of the 4-day week in action
