Finland's Prime Minister Sanna Marin has announced a new
rule that people will work only 6 hours a day and only four days a week.
What? Yeah you heard it right It is not good to think too
much. This is not a lie. The stunning decision first time in the history was
made by 34 year old (on 2019) Prime Minister of Finland, "Sanna Marin". But, to
say that it had caused a stir shock and jealousy amongst employees around the
world.
Why this shock? Because, there is no such announcement made in
our country.
Employees welcoming happily :)
Usually a week ends with a holiday in all country. Most
holidays are only nominal, such as Festival Day, Companies important day, Year
End and Month End. In the meantime, this stunning announcement of the prime minister will make it hard to digest. At times, it is normal for the top officials to
say that they leave the office for an hour early and or leave office immediately
at office closing time.
Why such a fascinating decision?
Sanna said, the reason behind this announcement was to let
employees spend more time with their families. And if this plan is accepted,
employees can spend more time with their families. Sanna, says next step in
life is flexible working and the right time spent with family should be essential,
As human’s life span is becoming very short; in that they spend half of their
life running behind money only.
Existing situation
In Finland, Currently working eight hours a day was in
practice. It is also said that there are five days of work a week. In the past year
2015, Sweden went ahead and accepted a six-hour workday. The result of this
system was such that, it showed happy employees with high productivity. Will Sanna's
plan be implemented If so it will be most welcomed.
Success Formula
The practice, which was already accepted in 'JAPAN', has
resulted in increased production than before. The 'GUARDIAN', a reputable company
based in New Zealand, is following a four-day work week since 2018. In this
regard, the founder of the company, this practice has greatly increased the
production of our company. It is worth to note that the profits have been increased
for sure.
So, what do you think
will working 6 hours a day be implemented in your country?
