Our CEO, Alex Mahon, recently announced a company-wide policy which gives all staff a 90-minute break from “remote tinny screen meetings” every day
Three days after the Prime Minister announced school closures and a national lockdown Alex Mahon posted on LinkedIn making it clear that she believes the policy is necessary because “pandemic fatigue” has been affecting all of Channel 4’s staff and it is crucial that everyone has “meeting-free time to think, breathe, catch-up”.
“From now on, we will have an all C4 lunch break daily at 12.30-2pm. And we will stick company-wide to Meeting Free Fridays,” she wrote.
Her post framed it as a way “get through this 3rd time [lockdown]” and to be able to do the “important work to get ready for the rebound”.
“We all need to look out for each other,” she concluded.
