Decolonizing Work – Benefits of Four-Day Workweek at pipikwan pêhtâkwan
Here are four ways four-day workweek has been benefitting our team.
Employees are able to schedule appointments, spend time with friends and family, and do absolutely nothing if they want. Many of our employees have felt the conventional five-day workweek made them feel rushed – forced to squeeze everything they want to do into every lone Saturday or Sunday.

What does Truth and Reconciliation mean to you?
The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is September 30, and the team at pipikwan pêhtâkwan reflected on what the day means to us.
Reconciliation isn’t something we often discuss within our team interactions, though it’s embedded into the processes of our company structure. We don’t stop to think about, ‘how can we Indigenize our company as a means to advance truth and reconciliation?’ in so many words, but the way we approach each other, projects and the community is done in a way that is true to how our Elders and Ancestors have collaborated in the past. We lead with community-centred focus and think about what’s best for the good of all, rather than just ourselves. We engage with community members from a relationship perspective rather than trying to enforce our ideologies onto them. We listen with intent and give space for Indigenous Peoples to share their experiences.
