DESCRIPTION:\nFor this European Work-Time Network's webinar\, we are joine
 d by Catherine Negus\, Research Manager at the Mental Health Foundation to
  discuss their 32-hour working week pilot.\n\nThe Mental Health Foundation
  piloted a 32-hour working week. Catherine will focus on the impacts their
  pilot had on the wellbeing and mental health of their employees\, as well
  as the organisation's productivity. The pilot ran for a full year\, from 
 April 2024 to April 2025\, with all the charity’s staff working a 32-hou
 r week (or proportionate reduction for part-time staff) with no loss of pa
 y. Unlike some four-day week models\, the Foundation’s approach offered 
 flexibility with staff choosing how to structure their 32 hours.\n\nCather
 ine Negus has a background in history\, international development\, volunt
 ary sector campaigning\, and patient voice. She is a researcher with the M
 ental Health Foundation (MHF) in the UK\, an organisation committed to the
  prevention of poor mental health\, particularly via attention to social d
 eterminants. Current areas of focus include workplace wellbeing and techno
 logy. Catherine led the evaluation of MHF's 2024/25 32-hour week pilot\, w
 hich led to a permanent 32-hour week for the organisation.\n\nThe event wi
 ll be hosted online at 1pm Brussels time on Wednesday 29th April. Our sp
 eaker will deliver a short presentation on the subject\, followed by an au
 dience Q&A.\n\nCatherine Negus is the Research Manager of the Mental Heal
 th Foundation\, a UK-based charity dedicated to promoting good mental hea
 lth and addressing mental health issues.\n	 \n\n--\n\n	 \n\n\nJoin Zoom
