The approach of summer brings back requests to reduce working days of the week

And some human resources experts are calling for the implementation of this proposal, especially with the arrival of summer, which is applied by Iceland, New Zealand and Japan, although it is an experience still under the microscope of research.

Observers believe that this experience was part of an alternative proposal for early departure of employees, as applied by some large companies around the world.

Experts said working for just four days in a season is a new strategy that increases employee efficiency.

“Long working hours are detrimental to the mental and physical health of employees.” In Britain alone, companies that have reduced working hours to 32 have seen a 65% decrease in the number of sick days and the likelihood of an employee quitting has fallen to 57%.

Experts also add that when companies reduce working days, it is not only good for employee well-being, but good for the business as well.

On the other hand, another party warns that working shorter hours could have the opposite effect.

From their point of view, employee productivity increases with long working hours, because he will not be in a hurry to complete his tasks, and therefore the error rate will decrease.
