For decades, long hours have been seen as a badge of honour in the workplace. But what if working more isn’t the answer to getting more done?

In this episode:

  • Why the 40-hour workweek is an outdated measure of productivity
  • The science behind why working over 50 hours leads to diminishing returns
  • How knowledge work differs from factory labour and why time-based metrics don’t work
  • What leaders can do to foster true productivity without burnout

It's time to challenge the myth that hours worked = results. Instead, we explore how organisations can shift to measuring impact, creativity, and well-being.
