Sweden is moving to a
six-hour working day in a bid to increase productivity and make people happier.
Employers
across the country have already made the change, according to the Science Alert
website, which said the aim was to get more done in a shorter amount of time
and ensure people had the energy to enjoy their private lives.
Toyota
centres in Gothenburg, Sweden’s second largest city, made the switch 13
years ago, with the company reporting happier staff, a lower turnover rate, and
an increase in profits in that time.
Filimundus,
an app developer based in the capital Stockholm, introduced the six-hour day
last year.
