That’s why it’s important that our team is excited about the change, and that we have the support of Kickstarter’s union in pursuing this new path.
KICKSTARTER TRIAL
While we don’t know exactly how we’ll design this pilot yet, I know that reconfiguring the way we work will involve a lot of trial and error. Here youll find mostly universal motorbike parts and accessories for the conversion to a Cafe-Racer, scrambler, flat- or street tracker. But there are still a lot of unanswered questions: How will we run meetings when we have less time in the week? How do we achieve our goals as a team if individuals are working at different times? How will the company handle the reality that some teams work differently than others-particularly our staff who work directly with the creators and backers on our platform? At its core, testing a four-day workweek is about finding creative ways that our team can use our time and energy as potently as possible while also being more engaged and fulfilled by the work. I believe that by finding harmony between work and home, our team will make as much-if not more-meaningful progress toward our mission.Ī pilot of our four-day workweek will begin in 2022, giving us time to build out clear goals and thoughtful implementation.
This decision stems from my belief that everyone who works for Kickstarter should have the ability to help propel the company forward while also pursuing their own creative projects, spending time with loved ones, and engaging with communities and causes that are important to them.
