After a successful 6 month 4 ½ day work week pilot, offering increased flexibility and autonomy for its staff during the pandemic, global affiliate network Awin has announced that from early 2021 its entire workforce will move to a 4-day work week with no reduction in salaries or client and partnership service level agreements.
Cementing the success of the initial trial, last month saw Awin awarded Best Affiliate Network at the International Performance Marketing Awards, recognising the dedicated level of support and expertise offered to the network’s partners during this tumultuous year.
The company is structuring its teams to ensure full service is not only maintained during this pilot phase but enhanced through optimised internal collaboration and embracing the agile approach that employees have so ably demonstrated throughout the disruption of 2020.
