We all hear companies should follow work policies. Here is a new policy that makes international workforces much happier.That is a shorter workweek.
Working from 9 am to 5 pm sounds like a dream to anyone who has logged a 70-hour week, but in 2024, Perpetual Guardian, a New Zealand financial services company, switched to a 30-hour, four-day workweek for a trial period. 16 However, their salaries and benefits didn't change.
At the end of the two-month trial, employee engagement increased.Work-life balance also increased from 54 percent to 78 percent. 17 The trial was such a success that the company permanently set a four-day workweek in November 2024.
A survey was conducted in September 2024 of employees from America. 18 Globally,72 percent of full-time employees would work four days or less a week if their salary remained the same.On a similar note, 45 percent of those surveyed said they believed they could finish their work in five hours if they had no interruptions.
19 In Denmark, Danish workers take their work time very quite seriously.They don't start their work till 9 am and they clock out at 5pm, There is no office tiredness and they become more efficient because they leave the office before they have a chance to get tired out. American workers tend to get to work early and leave much/later, leaving little time for relax.They aren't necessarily working harder during all those hours；they're just working longer. 20
