A 32-hour work week helped this company's employees juggle self-care, side hustles, pets, and parenting 'without feeling like they're going to be penalized'
Madeleine Niebauer, the founder and CEO of startup vChief, is also a mom.
"I thought the 4-day work week was a great way to draw in and keep great talent, and that you could still get work done and run a growing business," Niebauer told Insider. The company's staff is small, with 20 full-time employees and 150 part-time contractors. There are still busy periods when the staff may end up working over that 32-hour benchmark, Niebauer said, but she doesn't want that to ever become the norm.
For vChief's team, that extra day off gives people time to juggle side hustles and other responsibilities, said chief of staff Nisha Dass, who helped draft the company's 4-day policies. She said one vChief employee does Spanish translation work and bartends.
