Engage Hub, the Manchester and London based social media and influencer marketing agency, has announced that it is launching an exciting 6 month pilot for a 4 day working week

The Agency-wide pilot will begin on 5 July 2021, where teams will have a Wednesday or a Friday off - swapping over every 8 weeks, so everyone has the opportunity for a break in the week or a long weekend. There will be no cuts to salary or to holiday entitlement.

Ray Sherlock, Founder of Engage Hub said:

"The 4 day working week is a key initiative in the Agency's wider work to drive forward and achieve our priorities on health & wellbeing, workplace inclusion and becoming a carbon negative business.

We've all become used to the 9-5, Monday to Friday toil but the pandemic has allowed us to reassess how all of our teammates live and work, helping us to focus on ways in which we can make things better."

Natalie Wilson, the Agency’s Head of People added:

“We're a creative agency and our key mission is to empower creativity in everyone, no matter what role they play in the Agency.

By freeing up more time for our teammates to do the things they want to do - exercise, socialise, spend time with their families, look after loved ones - we hope to create a more dynamic, inclusive and enriching work community where everyone has a positive headspace.”

The move to a 4 day week also fits in with the Agency’s goal of reducing its carbon footprint to zero this year, by encouraging everyone to make more environmentally positive choices - a 4 day week immediately cuts out a days’ commute.

The pilot will last for 6 months, with the expectation that the Agency will move to a permanent 4 day week in early 2022.

Engage Hub is a social media and influencer marketing agency based in Manchester and London. It works with global brands like Mars, Staropramen, Gorillas to create disruptive and engaging social campaigns.
