# WorkSchoolHours: A Revolution for Parents, Workplaces and the World

It’s time to get work to work better for people. Right now, we are expected to work as though we don’t have kids and parent as though we don’t have jobs. It is not sustainable. It’s causing people to leave the workforce, or to sacrifice valuable family time – and simultaneously hurting organisations as retention and productivity take a nosedive. #WorkSchoolHours offers us all a better framework – one that takes us far beyond how we structure our work schedules to deliver us better commercial outcomes for businesses, better careers for all working people, and better lives for everyone. Building on decades of research and lived experiences, #WorkSchoolHours gives us practical insights and immediately actionable solutions. Let’s reduce hours spent working, so we can connect more with what matters in life – and do it in a way that is commercially smart for organisations.
