There is considerable ongoing discussion regarding the concept of a 70-hour workweek, with opinions divided on whether it is a viable or desirable approach. In my perspective, we may be framing the debate incorrectly. Instead of asking whether a 70-hour workweek should be implemented, it might be more pertinent to consider the following question: "How can we transform work into an engaging, enjoyable, and appealing experience, such that individuals willingly dedicate extended hours to their tasks?" Similar to how a Mother or Father tirelessly works around the clock (24x7), consistently fulfilling their responsibilities without taking time off or offering excuses. If we ask the right questions, we will have right answers 😉

The 70-Hour Workweek Paradox. 70 hours of work every week? Absolutely! But, for an employer? Nope! While the statement – ’Youngsters should adopt a 70-hour workweek model!’ – has raised a lot of eyebrows, it does seem valid in a broader sense. An intense 70-hour workweek should definitely be adopted, but under a couple of conditions. First, the 70-hour effort should be split into two segments with 45-hour and 25-hour bandwidths. And the 25-hour bandwidth should be spread across the entire week, irrespective of the regular workdays. Second, the weekly effort of 25 hours should be strictly considered as an effort that a person invests in one's own personal and professional growth. His/Her/Their employers should have absolutely no involvement in how this 25 hours is spent. Any person with dreams and ambitions will never find this effort as a burden. It’ll instead be fuel to a fire that’s already raging within them. Any person fueled by passion will thrive, and not just survive. Mediocrity will never be a part of their action plan. They’re the dreamers whose ambitions won’t let them sleep at night. They won’t settle until their dreams are achieved. Also, 70-hour "workweeks" are a breeze for them. Importantly, it’s a personal choice to be the torchbearer or an average Joe. The effort for each is radically different from one another. Let’s appreciate each other’s choices and live in peace! ✌

Imagine working a four-day workweek. Feels like a dream, right? Well, it's time to wake up because this is a concept that is currently becoming a reality. 💭 A recent trial, which ran from June to December 2022, was the world’s biggest four-day workweek experiment to date and involved nearly 3,000 workers at 61 companies. Here’s how it worked: Employees worked 32 hours over the course of four days, but didn't get less done, they were just more efficient. Employees get 100% of their pay for working 80% of the time if they accomplish 100% of their usual tasks. The results of this trial? Companies reported that the shorter workweek improved productivity, morale and team culture. Employees reported that it improved their health, finances and relationships. 92% of companies involved in the study said they planned to continue the four-day workweek. ❓ What are your thoughts on the 4-day workweek structure? Do you think this innovative structure would fit within the culture of your organization? Do you think there is varying value to this structure based on one's position within the organization?

"The best version of a four-day workweek will be designed when staff tell you how they can make it work." 🙌 I had a very inspirational chat with Dr. Dale Whelehan of 4 Day Week - Global. 🗣️ I had so many questions (and concerns 🤔) about the implementation and practical implications of the four-day workweek. Of course, I want it to be more productive and effective than the five-day week, but I still had many doubts. 1. Do companies lose money 💸 on a four-day week? Or are they less competitive? 🏆 2. Do staff have to work longer hours ⏰ to do the same work? 3. Does it lead to more stress? 😩 4. How does it scale across industries, especially emergency or time-dependent sectors like healthcare? 🚑 5. What are the actual results and feedback from trials? 🤔 And while I came to the conversation with doubts, I left it feeling very inspired. ✨ So inspired, I've decided to adopt it for myself! 🎉 While it's an easy decision to make as a self-employed person, it may be hard to implement—as I will have to deal with the benefits or consequences personally. 1. Will my clients become dissatisfied? 😠 2. Will I lose 20% of my revenue? 📉 3. Or will I be more productive and effective? 🚀 Let's see... 👀 Watch the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/dSQ2S5UB Dr. Dale Whelehan posts great stuff on LinkedIn — well worth a follow: https://lnkd.in/dFXAe9BM

If you can think it, do it: Let’s create a world without waste together | Interzero | ALBA Group Asia | ALBA BERLIN
What would Nuan’s thoughts be on the German controversial discussions of a four-day workweek? The topic repeatedly sparks discussions in the German work sphere. On one hand, it promises a better work-life balance; on the other hand, the question remains: Is it really the key to more success and (in our case) a world without waste and can the country afford it? What I’m sure of: Achieving a world without waste is a challenging task – one that cannot be done within a four-day workweek. Similar to competitive sports, ambitious goals demand work and investment. Every step requires effort and the will to question and improve existing systems. That's exactly what the team at Interzero and ALBA Group Asia does every day. Because we believe our planet is worth the effort. At the same time, we recognize and acknowledge that this approach is not for everyone. Nonetheless, the more you have to commit to something, the better it feels to achieve it. Especially when it’s accomplished as a team effort with individuals who share a common vision. What are your thoughts on a four-day workweek?
