RE: The Future Of Work: 5 Hour Days?

I know Sweden has promoted the 6 hour work day. A couple of companies tried it and it was quite successful in the way that employees were happier and healthier and the productivity often stayed the same.

People need time to reenergize and by making longer days your productivity goes down.

Although the experiments had good positive results they went back to the old 8 hours because it was still too expensive.

It is always interesting how that happens. Hence why things take so long to change from a societal level. Even when something is proven successful, instead of trying to find ways to make it less expensive, they just revert back.
