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.

Advice please, declined house insurance cover
Looking for advice please. Has anyone had any issues reinsuring their homes. Our current house insurance went up by 11.5%, so I decided to get another quote. At the end of a very long phone with Tower, they declined to insurance us, saying our property is a landslide risk. I'm on Wyndham Road in Pinehaven. While the house is up off the street, the house itself and backyard are on the flat part of our section. Now - in the interest of full disclosure - I'm going to have to tell our current insurer too. I've rung the Council to see if they've updated their hazards mapping - and they said the only update has been to the Pinehaven Overflow. Have lived in this house since 2003, and insurance has never been an issue till now. TIA
