Become a Compressed Work Week Leader

The Clean Air Campaign is offering Georgia employers the opportunity to join the Compressed Work Week Leadership Initiative. If selected, your organization will receive:

• Free professional consulting services. These services will be tailored to the employer’s needs and can include assistance with overall program development, implementation, monitoring and program evaluation.
• Up to $2,000 at a maximum rate of $20/hr in reimbursement for labor costs incurred in planning, conducting feasibility studies, training, marketing and promoting Compressed Work Weeks. Employers that do not require financial assistance are still eligible for consulting services.

What can a Compressed Work Week do for your organization?

• Reduce operating costs
• Improve employee productivity
• Expand service hours
• Reduce absenteeism
• Create talent recruitment advantages
• Cut employee commute costs by as much as 20%

In addition, employers that have adopted a Compressed Work Week schedule report happier employees and lower employee turnover.

Objectives

The Clean Air Campaign’s Compressed Work Week Leadership Initiative seeks to mobilize employers in the state of Georgia to start or expand Compressed Work Week programs. Resources provided through the Initiative will help participants develop, expand and implement effective Compressed Work Week programs.
