This Chick-fil-A has experienced 100% retention at the management level since implementing a three-day workweek option.
Last month, Lindsey received 429 applications in one week for just one full-time position. Surprisingly, the biggest draw wasn’t the competitive wage — it was the three-day workweek.TODAY Food
At a corporate level, Chick-fil-A didn’t care. “Since most Chick-fil-A restaurants are independently owned and operated, local restaurant operators are able to create unique solutions to attract and retain top talent,” a Chick-fil-A spokesperson told TODAY via email. So far, Lindsey’s game-changing schedule appears to be working.Since implementing the three-day workweek in February, he hasn’t lost any of his 18 managers who all operate on the schedule.
Employees on the three-day workweek are separated into two pods: Each pod works three consecutive 12- to 14-hour days and enjoys having two weekends and seven consecutive days off every month. They work with the same people every day. This is practically unheard of for restaurant workers used to having a revolving door of co-workers and managers.
The Chick-fil-A Lindsey operates has experienced 100% retention at the management level since implementing a three-day workweek option.Another perk of the three-day workweek is employees know their schedule in advance, for perpetuity. “We’ve taken the guesswork out of the schedule,” said Lindsey. “Team members can now plan their lives in advance. They can plan childcare, school, vacations, etc.”The schedule is especially popular among Lindsey’s employees who are single mothers and students.
