In this digital era, Life is very competitive and fast, grid to coupe up with this work and life, balance is significant. Weekly working hours is most debatable topics in this decade, while some believes shorten working week is beneficial for employees, other think that it will reduce the productivity of the organization. I strongly agree that, working hours in a week should be reduced and consequently, it will steadily boost workers efficiency.
Firstly, shorten work working week provide opportunities for personal development and mental satisfaction. Nowadays, majority of the jobs are related to cutting edge technology, which need lots of brain storming. So if you don’t provide enough break to your brain, it will not work properly and decline your efficiency. During weekend, employees can evaluate their performance, if they have any lackings they can work on that and also improve their other skills too, which is very beneficial for the company. Not only that, in leisure time workers can look after their health, they can do some refreshing activities such as, traveling, playing sports or swimming in the beaches, which can fill them with positive energy, remove all stress, dis and anxiety. Make them more motivated to the work.
Furthermore, longer weekend is inevitable for better balancing professional and personal life. If you cannot give enough time to your family or friends then, it will ruin your relation. As a social human being we need family and friends otherwise, we feel frustrated and ultimately, it will affect your Job. Another crucial reason, why its necessary to longer weekend, because some developed countries for instance, Japan are facing low population rate. For longer working day and immense pressure from job, they don’t want to married on any relation, which significantly declining workforce. That’s why Japanies Government forcefully provides vacation to their employees.
In conclusion, balancing a happy life, its inevitable to have shorten working week and Longer weekend. Many argue, that shorter working reduced efficiency, but ultimately it will be beneficial for the institute. That’s why I strongly in favour of shorter week and Longer weekend.
