Episode 6: Rethinking work: Less hours, better results?
What if the real problem at work isn’t too little time, but outdated ways of working? In this episode, we meet Anna-Carin Alderin, National Partner for 4 Day Week Sweden, to explore what really happens when organizations reduce working hours. Based on one of the largest Nordic studies, the conversation goes beyond the headlines - from cutting “pseudo-work” and improving focus to rethinking leadership, trust, and performance. This isn’t about working less for the sake of it, but about redesigning work to create better results, healthier people, and more sustainable organizations.Episode 5: Role models, AI and the future of women in tech
Why do so many girls lose interest in coding, and what can we do to change that?

Through projects that bring AI innovation into schools and her work with Ung Datatjej, she is determined to inspire more young women to pursue careers in IT and tech. Welcome to Bridging the Gap, an Ework hosted podcast where we sit down with experts to discuss the skills and trends shaping the workforce of tomorrow. How will AI transform our worklife? And what impact will sustainability have on innovation?
