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.

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.
