– We have completed the first, large stage of research and analysis, using the experience of private entrepreneurs and public institutions that experimentally introduced a shorter work week. We will present the applications more widely in the next month. We already know that shortening working time is an expected, desirable and needed direction – especially in the context of limited efficiency, increased overwork and burnout – said the head of the labor department. – The second conclusion is that shortening the working week must be a process spread over time and introduced gradually – She added.
The conclusions mentioned by Dziemianowicz-Bąk are to be presented this month.
According to the information that the press office of the Labor Ministry provided to “Fakt”, the analyzes were conducted based on their own data and scientific publications. The ministry met with representatives of entities (it is about companies, but also local governments), where shorter working time was introduced for employees. – Entities that shortened working time did not record a decrease in employee productivity – informs the press office of the Ministry of Family, Labor and Social Policy.
