Spain To Launch Trial Of 4-Day Workweek
Why not make it three?
Spain is set to become the first country in the world to test a 4-day workweek. Details of the pilot program are still being ironed out, but it’s expected to start in the fall. To be honest I don’t put in a normal 40-hour workweek. But it is split up into weird hours.
The experiment would be a 32-hour workweek, which would allow workers to spend less time at the office without any change in pay. A top government official told The Guardian, “Spain is one of the countries where workers put in more hours than the European average. But, we’re not among the most productive countries. I maintain that working more hours does not mean working better.”
Do you agree with that? Do you think people will really be more productive in four days? Or are we just getting lazy? What do you think about a permanent 4-day workweek?
