Sweden
to Offer Employees Six Hour Working Day in Bid to Increase Productivity and
Happiness

Swedish employers are moving towards offering workers a six
hour day in a bid to increase happiness, health and productivity.
Many businesses in the Scandinavian country have already
switched from the standard eight hour day according to the Science Alert
website, who say the move has been hailed a success.
Toyota centres in Gothenburg, who switched to a six hour day
13 years ago, report happier staff, a lower turnover rate and a 25 per cent
rise in profits.
Stockholm-based app developer Filimundus made the change to
a shorter working day last year in order for employees to “spend more time with
their families, learn new things and exercise more,” according to company CEO
Linus Feldt.
“The eight-hour work day is not as effective as one would
think,“ he told Fast Company. "To stay focused on a specific work task for
eight hours is a huge challenge.
“In order to cope, we mix in things and pauses to make the
work day more endurable. At the same time, we are finding it hard to
manage our private life outside of work.”

To compensate for a substantially shorter day, employees are
not allowed on social media sites, while meetings and other distractions are
kept to a minimum.
“My impression now is that it is easier to focus more
intensely on the work that needs to be done and you have the stamina to do it
and still have the energy left when leaving the office,” Mr Feldt added.
Doctors and nurses in some Swedish hospitals have also made
the six hour day move, while a retirement home in Gothenburg is conducting an
experiment to determine whether the cost of hiring new staff members to cover
the hours lost is worth improvements to patient care and the boost to
employees’ morale.
Recent research has suggested that people who work more than
55 hours a week have an increased chance of suffering a stroke and coronary
heart disease.
The study, published in The Lancet last month, also found
that working 49-hour weeks was associated with lower mental health,
particularly in women.
