Description

LAAC experimented with a 32-hour workweek in 2024, and the LAAC Board formally adopted the model in early 2025. In this presentation, we will talk about our process, board concerns, our survey tools, and how teams prioritized communication – and how staff continued to take vacations and sabbaticals during this time.

Though this is designed for leadership and those with the ability to implement a 32 hour workweek experiment or pilot, we welcome others to attend to learn about the challenges we had to address and ask questions.
