Less Working Hours Same Productivity
When will NZ go into the 4 day working week? It cannot be too far off surely.
Of course it wont be for everyone because some industries have different requirements but for the large majority it will work and you can guarantee that productivity is unlikely to suffer. In fact it could increase due to the incentive produced.
Iceland, a wealthy tier one country like NZ, has experienced a 35 hour working week for 86% of its working population over a 4 year period and the results are appreciative workers with no productivity losses and no reduction in wages/salaries.
Next on the cards for Iceland is the 4 day working week and this is due to also be experimented in several other wealthy European countries. It has been envisaged in France for some years now but the plunge is still to be taken.
The 4 day week is expected to increase daily working hours to nine hours to produce a 36 hour working week and most businesses will close either on the Monday or Friday to create an elongated weekend. But there are also several other options such as some staff on and some off scenario and mid week day off.
