英文摘要Abstract:

In 1938, the US Congress enshrined a five day workweek, and that schedule spread to other wealthy countries. In the ensuing eighty-five years, there has been no serious effort to reduce the number of days worked each week. However, the pandemic sparked a movement for a four day week, in the US and globally. The pandemic raised stress and burnout levels for workers around the world, leading some employers to offer shorter hours as a way to address worker ill-being and the successes of remote work led to more openness to change. The emergence of AI is another catalyzing factor. There are now multiple governments around the world that are piloting or seriously considering four day week experiments. Since early 2022 I have been the lead researcher on trials of companies who are giving their workers one day off with no loss in pay. Our research shows large improvements in employee well-being, as well as very positive results for companies in terms of performance, retention and hiring. In this talk I will discuss the movement to reduce hours and our findings, and offer reflections on the future of this phenomenon.

 

中文摘要

1938年美國國會通過了一週工作五天的制度,工作五天隨後成為富裕國家普遍共享的制度。八十五年過去了,這套制度從未曾再接受過檢驗,直到新冠疫情爆發。疫情催生了一週工作四天的運動,首先是美國,接著是全球。疫情讓員工承受的工作壓力向上推升,過勞情況變得比以往更為嚴重。部份僱主開始提供降低工時的福利緩解員工身心壓力,而遠距上班的普及也讓工時變得更有彈性;另一個催生因素則是AI的快速發展。現在全球許多政府開始進行工作四天的實驗。2022年初我開始帶領研究團隊針對願意試行工作四天不減薪的企業進行研究。我們的研究不僅顯示員工福祉獲得大幅提升,同時員工工作表現、留任率以及任職率各方面都出現成長。在這個演講中我將討論降低工時運動以及我們的研究成果,包括對環境氣候的影響,並為未來選項提供些反思。
