This week on Ratchet+Wrench Radio, Erin Vaughan, owner of Kinetic Auto Service in Regina, Saskatchewan, stops by to talk about how her shop instituted a four-day workweek.
Earlier this spring, Vaughan made the decision and she discusses how she arrived at it, and also discusses:
- How the shop's days and weeks are structured
- Consulting the team and how they've responded to the change
- What she's learned about workflow management in a four-day week
- Whether KPI has been affected and how productivity has changed
- Training her clients and eliminating waiters completely
- Short weeks as a means to attract new talent
- How owners looking to try a four-day workweek can get started
