Baxter championed Qwick’s recent transi2on to a four-day work week in April. The company is currently tes2ng its new schedule through July, and has experienced two record-sepng revenue months since the start of the trial proving that produc2vity stands strong among the change.
“We absolutely want to be on the leading edge of new workplace solu2ons for our people, and we’re always looking for fipng ways to improve our employee experience,” said Derek Johnson, Qwick’s Chief People Officer. “We receive raving feedback from employees about the four-day work week. They come back on Monday stronger than ever, ready to hit it hard for four days. There are challenges – we’re a high-produc2on, rapidly expanding company and, now more than ever, Qwick’s level of output requires important synergies, team liding, and just hard work. But what we’re seeing is that people can make the most of their work 2me when they’ve been allowed to make the most of their personal 2me.”
The company also offers unlimited paid 2me off, flexible hybrid at-home and in-office work, and it is currently planning for a new headquarters building fully designed and customized for Qwick’s work, brand and culture. The new office will house the company’s quickly expanding body of employees with space for its con2nued growth. Qwick’s employee count is over 450% what it was in June 2021 and the company plans to con2nue its rapid hiring throughout 2022. Hundreds of more employees are expected to onboard with Qwick as the company progresses toward its goal to be matching shids for hospitality businesses and professionals in over 30 market areas by year’s end.
Baxter said, “As a company focused on providing unequaled freedom and flexibility for our business partners and professionals, I feel a strong desire and responsibility to apply the same ‘future of work’ concepts to our own employees. Our strategy for helping people do their best work at Qwick is to make it easy for them to love their job. I feel that by keeping people first we’ll be successful in great new minds to contribute to Qwick’s culture and our vision to create prosperity in the food and beverage industry.”
