[S3 E7] How Digital Is Transforming When & Where We Work

Advances in digital communications technology over the last few years have made the ability to work from anywhere at any time a reality. Whether it's automated processes or a greater ability to share information quickly and effectively, the world of PR work is changing rapidly before our eyes. In this episode of the Digital Download podcast I talk to Rich Leigh, founder of Radioactive PR, about his decision to switch his agency to a four day work week without cutting pay. We discuss what prompted the initial idea, how clients and staff reacted after an initial trial, what enabled him to make the change a permanent one, and whether others should or will follow suit. Here's what is discussed in this episode: How the idea for a four day work week came about How you can balance conscientiousness, hard work, reward & fun How processes & technology are changing within the PR industry How digital technology facilitates better working processes & ways of working Why doing something different to make people feel valued attracts talent Why the profit margin of a business is not the be all and end all Why PR agencies no longer need big London offices How clients respond to innovative initiatives like a four day work week What is the impact on work/life balance Subscribe: Apple Podcasts I Android Podcast Apps I Email I RSS What to do Next I'd love to hear from you with any comments or thoughts.
