Lamont Print & Sign has introduced a nine-day a fortnight work model for its staff, designed to enhance employee wellbeing, support retention, and sustain the company’s reputation as a leading employer in the signage and print industry.

Under the new structure, staff will work Monday to Thursday from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm, and finish at 1:00 pm on Fridays, with a 30-minute lunch break each day.

To provide greater flexibility, rostered days off (RDOs) will rotate, with the option for either Mondays or Fridays being scheduled as the additional day off every second week.

The company said this ensures staff maintain full-time hours while benefiting from improved work-life balance.

“We know the signage and print industry is in a highly competitive labour market. By giving our people flexible, supportive work structures, we can retain talent, strengthen our culture, and continue delivering the high-quality service our clients expect,” Lamont Print & Sign director Stephen Lamont said.

The initiative is expected to reduce absenteeism, improve morale, and sustain client service through staggered scheduling, ensuring client needs are met even when some staff are on rostered days off.

Lamont Print & Sign will pilot the program before a full rollout, incorporating staff feedback and operational data.

“Flexible work is not just about hours, it’s about building trust, retaining talent, and creating a positive culture,” Lamont added.
