Recently, France proposed a trial implementation of the four-day work week.
What is a 4-day workweek? Rather than just shortening the five-day workweek to a four-day workday, the five-day work will be completed in four days on a trial basis with the same five-day working hours. This means that you may have to work overtime to complete the workload.
This is also known as "condensed working hours", and this system has sparked discussion in all walks of life, although most people believe that "condensed working hours" will increase the intensity of daily work, leading to conflicts between work and life, and it is difficult to balance it, especially if you need to work overtime every day, and the working hours become longer, which is quite challenging for employees who have long commutes and need to take care of children.
In a poll of the French people, the acceptance of the new work system was higher than expected, with 75% of respondents saying they would accept it, but only if the salary would not be reduced. Fifty-two percent of the population believe that they accept the four-day workweek even if they increase their working hours.
The advantage of this work system is that it increases the number of days off and gives employees more time to take care of personal matters, thus avoiding taking time off. The disadvantage is that you may not be able to balance family and work with the high intensity of daily work. The specific situation still needs to wait for employee feedback after the implementation.
Everyone thinks that it can be implemented in our country for 4 daysMade?
