CAO Jamie Burke says the new scheduling system will run for three months, from June through August, and then be evaluated as a longer term option for the town\u2019s workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Hear this story as reported on Tantramar Report:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Apr-8-compressed-work-week.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the inspirations for the experiment is a small municipality in Nova Scotia, which was one of the first in Canada to try and later adopt a compressed workweek. Barry Carroll is the CAO of the municipality of the District of Guysborough, on the southeastern tip of mainland Nova Scotia. He credits the pandemic with the municipality\u2019s experiment. \u201cIt&#8217;s kind of a good news story coming out of COVID for us,\u201d says Carroll. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Barry-Carroll-twitter.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Barry-Carroll-twitter.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Barry-Carroll-twitter.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Barry-Carroll-twitter-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Barry-Carroll-twitter-150x150.jpg 150w\" \/><\/a><figcaption>CAO of the Municipality of the District of Guysborough, Barry Carroll. Image: Twitter<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the outset of the pandemic, Guysborough had split their workforce of about 60 into two teams, and alternated days on site and working from home. The flexibility was popular, as was the ability to keep in operations during COVID. Then one day, Carroll was listening to a federal COVID briefing when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau mentioned the four-day workweek, and the idea was planted. \u201cWe said, look, maybe this is something that we can try on a pilot basis,\u201d Carroll recalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The municipality implemented a nine month pilot starting in June 2020, with two teams working compressed four-day weeks, either from Monday to Thursday, or Tuesday to Friday. \u201cSo everybody&#8217;s working the same number of hours,\u201d says Carroll, of either 35 hours or 40 hours per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reaction was positive, and continues to be, says Carroll. \u201cHonestly, there&#8217;s a bounce in people\u2019s step, every day of the week. They&#8217;re as excited about it now as when we first implemented it two years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carroll says sick leave is down more than 50%. Workers have time to, \u201cbook a dentist appointment on their day off, or take the car to the garage, or do whatever they need to do,\u201d says Carroll. Younger employees have had to negotiate daycare schedules, but Carroll says they enjoy the extra day to spend time with family. \u201cIt\u2019s been a win-win,\u201d says Carroll, who has done over 100 interviews about the compressed week, ranging from the BBC to other municipalities in Canada that want to know how it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sackville CAO Jamie Burke was one of those interviews, and now Burke is hoping to put some \u201cbounce in peoples\u2019 steps\u201d in Sackville. Burke says the idea for the compressed week actually started with some town workers who had heard of what was happening in Guysborough, and brought the idea to management. Burke also noticed that after Christmas break, morale was low in the town workforce, possibly due to \u201cwinter blues\u201d, \u201cpost Christmas anxiety&#8221;, and the compounding stress of the pandemic. \u201cWe\u2019re also going through a restructuring,\u201d says Burke, \u201cso I know that&#8217;s on employees\u2019 minds as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-08-at-5.37.58-PM.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"(max-width: 854px) 100vw, 854px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-08-at-5.37.58-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19783\" width=\"395\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-08-at-5.37.58-PM.png 854w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-08-at-5.37.58-PM-300x246.png 300w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-08-at-5.37.58-PM-768x630.png 768w\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Sackville CAO Jamie Burke answers a question during a council meeting on February 7, 2022.  Image: YouTube screencap<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The combination of factors made Burke realize he needed, \u201cto do something to show employees that they&#8217;re important, that as the leader of the organization you appreciate the work that they do. So that&#8217;s really what inspired the initiative,\u201d says Burke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The compressed week was one of three initiatives to make for a happier town workforce. Council recently approved a new benefit that gives town workers up to $300 back each year on wellness related activities like gym memberships, yoga classes, or personal fitness equipment. The third new policy allows for employees to bring their dogs to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt&#8217;s not an all-dogs-in-the office type thing,\u201d explains Burke. There\u2019s a schedule, and one dog at a time is allowed to join the workforce in the non-public areas of the building. \u201cIf nothing else, it&#8217;s made the workplace a little more fun,\u201d says Burke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Much of the chatter about the four-day workweek in the media and online has to do with actually reducing hours of work, but the Guysborough and now Sackville versions of the concept keep classic work hours. In Sackville, inside workers will stick with their 35 hour week, and work longer days. That will in turn allow town hall to be open an hour longer each day for public service, a benefit that Guysborough also experienced. Starting on May 30, Sackville town hall will be open 8am to 5pm from Monday to Thursday, going back to regular 8:30am to 4:30pm hours on Fridays. That will last until the pilot is scheduled to end on September 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to outdoor workers, there\u2019s a 40 hour work week that needs to be crammed into 4 days. Public works staff will be starting at 6:30am and finishing at 5pm. \u201cSo it&#8217;s a long day,\u201d says Burke. But the new schedule makes good use of daylight hours and \u201cthey get out to kind of beat the heat first thing in the morning.\u201d It also might be more efficient as it can reduce set up and tear down time for various tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sackville\u2019s system differs slightly from Guysborough in that workers will alternate between having Mondays and Fridays off, leaving them with alternating two and four-day weekends over the summer, as opposed to consistent three-day weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Burke says he and the management team consulted with staff before going ahead with the pilot, and that included consulting the workers\u2019 union, CUPE Local 1188, which just signed a new contract early this year. As negotiations were settled, \u201cthe union was aware that we were going to be looking at the compressed workweek,\u201d says Burke. So the town and the union drew up a memorandum of understanding outlining the parameters of the pilot project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final clincher for staff acceptance of the compressed week pilot: it\u2019s not mandatory. \u201cThere&#8217;s really no pressure on employees to participate,\u201d says Burke, noting that a handful of employees have chosen to opt out of the 4 day schedule. \u201cWe&#8217;re fully supportive of that,\u201d says Burke. \u201cGiven the way the schedule has been designed. We&#8217;re very confident that there shouldn&#8217;t be any hiccups over the summer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether Sackville workers are as enthusiastic as Guysborough workers remains to be seen. \u201cWe we will talk to employees as we go through this and at the end of this,\u201d says Burke, \u201cto determine whether or not we can do it again, or whether it can be expanded, enhanced, tweaked, etc.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not clear what will happen in September as the pilot winds down. Burke is less confident that such a program can work through snow clearing season, but he\u2019s open to the possibilities. As it stands now, on September 3, staff will return to their current 5-day-a-week schedules. But for the summer months at least, those who opted in will enjoy alternating four-day weekends, all without taking a single day off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Workers for the town of Sackville will be trying something a little different this summer, working a compressed workweek of just four days, but with longer hours for those days.
