After near-collapse, Qwick eyes a four-day workweek to double workforce
Just two years after laying off 80% of its staff due to pandemic disruptions, the Phoenix-based hospitality app Qwick is joining a growing corporate faction that’s implementing four-day workweeks.
At first glance, the move might seem like a counterintuitive growth strategy for a company that was on the verge of collapse in the not too distant past. But as the startup looks to more than double its workforce and reach record revenue growth in the next year, its CEO Jamie Baxter believes a four-day workweek will be key to curbing employee burnout, recruiting and retaining talent, and fostering a culture of innovation.
