This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Natalie Breece, the chief people and diversity officer at
So in January 2021, we decided to test a four-day workweek for corporate staffers and adopted more flexible scheduling for our distribution-center workers, who are paid hourly and set the number of hours they work with their managers. When 2022 rolled around, we adopted these changes as company policy, and we haven't looked back.
For me, I know I can stop by my children's classroom or their after-school activities. There's a lot of mental anguish when you're a parent and can't go to your child's sports game or concert. Now I have more opportunities to show up for my 10-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter. I really feel like I have the best of both worlds with work and home life.
Everyone has more time to devote to their lives, however they choose. I think that creates a lot of equity.
