Jeannette talks about the debate surrounding the optimal working week schedule, comparing the recent introduction of a six-day working week in Greece to the trend of trialling four-day working weeks in various countries. Jeannette explores the reasons behind Greece's decision to implement a six-day working week, citing economic challenges and ambitions for increased productivity.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The debate between a four-day working week and a six-day working week is a hot topic globally, with different countries and companies experimenting with various schedules.
• Greece recently introduced a voluntary six-day working week, offering a 40% increase in salary for the extra day worked, aiming to boost economic productivity.
• The introduction of the six-day working week in Greece has sparked controversy, with concerns about employee well-being, consultation, and potential impact on productivity.
• On the other hand, many countries have been trialling four-day working weeks, with some companies making it a permanent change due to benefits like improved work-life balance and productivity gains.

BEST MOMENTS

"Greece has actually announced that they are introducing a six-day working week which is quite controversial given that this is quite a different approach to a lot of the other countries that we see around the world."

"So financially, there is clearly a benefit to the employees that take up the six-day working week."

"Some of the benefits of the four-day working week are that it allows for a better life work balance for employees."

"Life has changed since COVID, right? And that forced us to work more creatively in a very different way than we ever have done before."
