The results of the world’s largest trial of a 4-day week (with no loss of pay) are out:

▪️ No drop in revenue

▪️ 65% fewer sick days

▪️ 71% less burnout

▪️ 92% of companies decide to keep the policy after the trial

The conclusion is clear: we need a shorter working week.

Heart-wrenching start to #TransitionCoP2022 listening to @PaulaMc007 speak about her son Oliver’s story and the launch of #Oliverscampaign. If you work with young people in transition (or really in health/social care in any capacity at all), please look it up.

Immensely saddened to hear of @Alannobbs death yesterday. He was always so full of energy and passion for developing the future leaders of the NHS, and on a personal level was always there with a kind or supportive word when it was needed. He'll be missed.💙 #GMTS @NHSLeadership

This will never not make me laugh when it comes across my timeline. 😂

A QA engineer walks into a bar. Orders a beer. Orders 0 beers. Orders 99999999999 beers. Orders a lizard. Orders -1 beers. Orders a ueicbksjdhd.

First real customer walks in and asks where the bathroom is. The bar bursts into flames, killing everyone.

If you have a spare five minutes check out this beautiful essay written by my friend Jess on her experience with post-natal depression for #MaternalMentalHealthAwarenessWeek 💙

It's #MaternalMentalHealthAwarenessWeek and I've written a blog about my experiences of #PND #PTSD. I really hope it helps anyone struggling https://t.co/TH2RgnuyP8

This is disgraceful. The least we can do is offer shelter to Ukrainians fleeing for their livesーLondon stands ready to offer sanctuary. The U.K. government must urgently fix this and speed up the process. https://t.co/jUNc32l2wB

We really enjoyed delivering our first @LGT_Qi Measurement for Improvement workshop for 2022! We had to make a ‘shift’ to virtual but lots of smiles and fantastic feedback 😃 @SulanGingell @AlexandraStrks @EllenSianSmith

If nothing else, at least my Covid-isolation Christmas has freed me up to watch the live launch of @NASAWebb. What an incredible feat of human teamwork and engineering! #SpaceGeek

[LGT Qi @LGT_Qi]
