4-Day Summer Work Week Wrap-Up

On September 27th, we wrap-up our Summer Fridays as part of our third consecutive compressed 4-day summer work week. In celebration of another successful year of our #RVAFlex program we are sharing testimonials from our colleagues on how a culture of flexibility has empowered them to work better, live healthier, and perform stronger.

See how flexibility at RVA has helped our people succeed through work-life harmony. Check out their perspective on RVA’s flexible work culture – what flexibility means to them, how it has helped them, what they most enjoy about flexible work, etc.

At RVA, company culture is a living, breathing environment created through well balanced and consistent actions that define the very characteristics that set us apart. Our culture extends beyond our mission, traditions, policies, and guiding principles. We as an employee-owned firm are shaping how we preform as an organization and what that means for our people, projects, and planet.

Our culture is dependent on our people, and our people are dependent on work-life harmony. Flexibility programs that effectively help our people balance the demands of work and personal life provide a significant impact on their happiness and productivity. In a positive company culture, employees are engaged and motivated to do their best work, because the culture empowers them to grow and find meaning and purpose in their roles.

Our unique compressed 4-day summer work week is a powerful flexibility program to help our people recharge, restabilize, reprioritize, and recenter. Whether it is more time for play, practice, planning, personal care, or precious moments it all adds to the lived experiences of a healthier, stronger #OneRVA team.

Building a culture of flexibility isn’t just a means to an end. We do it to celebrate the rich diversity of people in our organization; to help people truly see, value, and respect one another; and to send a clear message that our organization has respect and inclusion at the very heart of our culture.

This post is part of a social media series on Flexible Work Arrangements, which features firsthand accounts from RVA’ers on how our culture of flexibility has empowered them to work better, live healthier, and perform stronger.
