Roseneath Theatre’s Level UP! Project
When Roseneath Theatre became a Level UP! Partner in 2021, they were already piloting a four-day work week for their administrative staff. Their pilot focused on embedding this practice into policy.
Project Highlights:
-
- Executive Director, annemieke wade, and Artistic Director, Andrew Lamb, advocated for the benefits of this model, affording them the opportunity to better care for their young children and aging parents
- The four-day work week is in conversation with their Flexible Working Arrangement Policy, a companion document to the Employee Handbook
