The British newspaper The Independent writes about this.
“The goal of moving to a six-hour workday is to ensure that workers can be more productive in less time and have the energy to enjoy their personal lives,” the statement said.
According to the department, Toyota, which has branches in Gothenburg, switched to a six-hour schedule 13 years ago. Now the company notes that staff are more satisfied with their lives and work more productively.
Let us add that Swedish hospitals took part in the experiment. The six-hour day experiment in Gothenburg was first proposed by a coalition of leftists and environmentalists in April 2014. Then the city's municipal employees switched to a six-hour working day.
Let us remember that in the nineties Sweden already experimented with a six-hour working day. In particular, short working hours were introduced for some workers in Kiruna and Stockholm.
