Alida To Pilot A 4-Day Work Week For All Employees

February 16, 2022 by Techcouver Newsdesk Leave a Comment

Vancouver-born Alida announced this week that it will be piloting a 4-day work week for all employees kicking off in July 2022.

Founded on the West Coast over 20 years ago as Vision Critical, Alida is a customer experience management and customer insights platform that allows companies to collect valuable customer feedback and voice of employee data.

The company made the decision after listening to employee feedback using its own Voice of Employee technology.

The program will act as a trial to better understand how the organization and its people respond to a 4-day work week, with the hope to make it a permanent part of its benefits program and culture.

Alida currently employs approximately 500 employees with 200 working in Vancouver.

The company will use the next few months to prepare for the shift in business operations before launching the pilot in July.

All employees will maintain their full salary and benefits during the pilot and the initiative will begin with employees taking Fridays off. Alida will measure success based on productivity and business results, in addition to leveraging its Alida TXM platform to gather feedback on employee happiness levels.

“It’s time that companies meet employees where they are when it comes to work,” said Hermina Khara, SVP of People and Culture, who is based in Vancouver.

“We believe that our employees can make the best decisions for themselves on how and when they work. We want to give them further opportunity to nurture their mental and physical well-being so they can bring their best selves to work. Piloting a 4-day work week is a bold step for Alida, and we’re anticipating it will be a great success.”
