Let's look at the data first. Just recently, Britain announced the results of the largest four-day working week experiment in history:
? Under the four-day working system, 39% of employees' stress was reduced, 765,438+0% of employees' burnout was reduced, the number of sick days of employees was reduced by about two-thirds, and the number of resigned employees who participated in the experiment was reduced by 57%. Most companies are satisfied with the productivity and business performance during the experiment. The report quoted employees who participated in the experiment as saying that they could rest for three days a week and their working hours should be extended to 8 am to 5: 30 pm. This system enables employees to achieve a good balance between work and life.
Not only that, more than 90% companies also said that they would extend this working mode and would not give employees a salary cut. It can be seen that the experimental results are that the work efficiency is improved, the mental outlook of employees is improved and the work cost is saved. It can be said that it is a new working system worth trying, and its benefits are not only to improve work efficiency:
? First of all, it can promote the development of service industry, which will also promote the overall economic growth. When people have more leisure time, they will choose to relax, entertain, study and travel, all of which require consumption.
Secondly, it can save energy and protect the environment. If you work less than one day a week, you will miss one morning and evening peak, and you can also reduce the degree of environmental pollution. Save one day's transportation fee every week and save money for office workers. I believe that friends who have experienced the morning and evening peaks have a deep understanding of this.
Finally, employees get enough rest, and their work efficiency and work attitude will be improved. Take myself as an example. It is difficult to take a break alone now, and the result of continuous rotation is that everyone can't lift their spirits collectively. Extending working hours is also to improve work efficiency, but the results are often not ideal. It is difficult for employees to improve their efficiency when they are extremely tired, so trying a new working system may bring unexpected gains.
"The economy no longer needs us to work five days a week. That was 100 years ago. After the implementation of Tianwu at that time, the economy has undergone tremendous changes. " Indeed, on the fifth day, just like the current four-day working system, the working system is implemented to adapt to the new economic changes, promote economic development and be more humane. I believe that in the near future, the four-day work system can also be implemented in our work.
