An experiment with the introduction of a four-day working week began in Copenhagen on Monday, which will last until the end of the year, local media reports.
Employees in 14 companies are participating in the experiment, and after the trial period, the four-day working week could be permanently introduced, reports the Danish public service DR.
Jonas Amitsbol, a manager at one of the companies, says he expects the changed working hours to have a positive effect.
“Employees will get several consecutive days off, which also means that they will be able to recharge their batteries in their free time so that they are fresh and ready for the new working Sunday,” he said.
He added that a shorter working week means longer working days, which, he says, can be a challenge.
“You have to do mentally demanding things at the beginning of the working hours while you are still fresh, and then you have to do something less demanding at the end of the day,” notes Amitsbol, reports bankar.me.
