Black Creek Integrated Systems Corp. announced today that the company will be changing its current five-day workweek to four days per week. Black Creek Executive Vice President Connie Hill said, “Black Creek has always had a reputation in the field of corrections for being an innovator. Consistent with that reputation, effective April 28, 2023, Black Creek will commence a grand experiment with the adoption of a 4-day workweek.”
The decision was made after months of research and internal discussion on ways to increase employee satisfaction while still maintaining a highly productive work force.
Black Creek’s corporate office hours will now be Monday-Thursday, 7:30 am-5:30 pm Central Time, with the office closed on Friday. Office and shop employees at Black Creek will now enjoy a 36-hour workweek (at no reduction in pay). The Service Department will continue to be available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year.
This decision is a major shift in culture at Black Creek, and is reflection of the company's commitment to improving the lives of its employees and promoting work-life balance. Black Creek Executive Vice President Brady Hughes states that “Black Creek will continue to evolve as the modern workplace evolves, with the goal of attracting and retaining quality employees.”
