      <image:title>In the News - Simon Ursell’s way to workplace transformation&amp;nbsp; - "The four-day week simply makes you happy, so you’re better able to cope with the slings and arrows of a very busy and hectic week," Simon told CNBC.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The business has also benefited:   Productivity has increased by 22%  Job applications have surged 88%  Absenteeism has dropped by 66%</image:caption>

      <image:title>In the News - Simon Ursell’s way to workplace transformation&amp;nbsp; - What led Simon to rethink the workplace?</image:title>
      <image:caption>During Employee Benefits Live, Simon revealed a series of life-altering events. In 2014, he suffered from a brain haemorrhage, which he partly attributes to overworking and the stress of driving a startup. The following year, his son was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Thankfully, this terminal diagnosis was incorrect. After enduring extensive cancer treatment, his son is now thriving. However, these challenges left Simon with a lot of work to do to improve his mental health.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In the News - Simon Ursell’s way to workplace transformation&amp;nbsp;</image:title>
      <image:caption>Simon also leaned into the wisdom he had gained from Garry Banford's insights on comfort zones. His mantra became clear: "As a leader, you've got to be comfortable getting uncomfortable." Understanding the perils of remaining perpetually in the "red zone" of extreme stress—something he had personally experienced—he championed the transition not just as a productivity move, but as a step towards a growth-centric discomfort zone for everyone in the organisation.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In the News - Simon Ursell’s way to workplace transformation&amp;nbsp;</image:title>
      <image:caption>This isn’t solely about personal wellbeing or achieving a work-life balance. It’s about equipping people with the tools and resilience they need to maximise their performance. The goal is for individuals to not only manage stressful situations but to actively embrace and excel in them.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In the News - Simon Ursell’s way to workplace transformation&amp;nbsp;</image:title>
      <image:caption>By setting clear, transparent expectations alongside a backdrop of genuine empathy, he’s helped to create a working environment where employees feel secure, understood and empowered to speak up.  This didn't guarantee immediate success for the 4-day week initiative, but it strengthened a culture where challenges were openly discussed. Thanks to this open dialogue, Tyler Grange could proactively address issues, bolstering the sustainability and success of the new work week. The difference in Simon's style was pivotal. It wasn't just about setting clear goals for results; it was also about reaching those goals while valuing the team’s wellbeing.</image:caption>
