An extra 26 days for golf
Outsider is hopeful of the news from advice firm Invest Blue that it is trialling a move to a nine-day fortnight for its staff.
Similar to measures for a four-day week around the world, the advice firm would give all full-time employees in its 25 offices an extra 26 days off per year.
At a cost of $1.9 million, it was enacted with the aim to foster employee welfare and drive productivity gains.
Just think what could be done with an extra 26 days, he wondered.
Outsider has long been spending his Fridays on the golf course but he’d appreciate if he didn’t have to sneak off to do so, no longer would work have to get in the way of a good golf par.
He’s sure his staff would also appreciate an extra 26 days off from having to listen to his golf chat and puns.
