We were delighted to be joined by CEO of 4 Day Week Global Dr Dale Whelehan.

Dale is a behavioural scientist with a diverse range of experience comprising human capital, culture, change management, workforce experience, performance consulting, organisational behaviour, and representation and rights. Having originally trained as a physiotherapist, Dale completed a PhD exploring the impact of fatigue and sleep deprivation in healthcare workers, particularly surgeons, and has published extensively in this field. More recently, Dale was a senior human capital consultant for Deloitte Ireland where he specialised in behavioural science implementation to enable large scale organisational change. Considered an expert in the field of wellbeing, Dale is passionate about the intrinsic role work plays in fatigue and performance – and how shorter working hours can bring about radical transformation for people’s health and happiness.

Dale spoke about the findings of the pilots; current trends and the benefits that can derive from a reduced working week.
