Japan's Chiba Prefecture to introduce 4-day workweek for public workers
Ideas:
Most likely, as the pandemic forced many companies and employees, including government workers to a just their works habits maybe some or many workers got use to working from home or coffee shop and so on.
And now maybe idea of not going to the office everyday, Monday to Friday, as now got hold of many wo as they now like the ideas of working from home.
It probably is more appealing to working women with children as now they can work from home and take care of their children at the same time.
The 4 day workweek might become the trend in 2024 and companies looks for ways to improve the work/life balance for their workers.
And its most likely the trend that many young workers are looking for now as they search for entry in the workplace.
Of course maybe some older workers, who are used to 5 days a week in the office might not like it, and of course some kinds of jobs require workers to be in their offices everyday.
The 4 day work week might not fit with traditional Japanese companies but for most companies it be a good fit for the future.
If the experiment with Chiba works many companies might begin to experiment with a 4 day work week , if they aren't already doing it.
But the challenge is making sure that benefits and salaries of workers are not changed to fit a possible part-time style or contract style, and workers can maintain there same benefits and salary.
Maybe many companies, since the pandemic has ended have begun to experiment with the 4 day workweek and or some combination to improve the work/life experience of their workers.
But sometimes Japan is a little slow to change but once it decides to move it quickly makes the changes needed.
Most likely many of the traditional manufacturing companies might not allow a 4 day work week, but then again, maybe they have already done it with improved shift work policies.
Have a nice day and be safe!
