After Britain, the trial of 4 day working and three off concept is going to start in many countries of Europe along with Canada and America. In India, the Central Government has made new labor codes to implement this rule, but it has not been implemented yet.
The debate has started all over the world on the formula of four days work and three days off in a week. In India, the Central Government has made new labor codes to implement this rule, but it has not been implemented yet. The central government wants all the states to implement the new labor code simultaneously. This concept is being brought to balance between people’s personal life and work. Apart from India, many other countries are also going to start the formula of four days work and three days rest. Recently a study has been started in Britain regarding this. Companies from many sectors have participated in the 4 Day Working Pilot Program. It has been started for six months.
Study is being done in UK
Half the time i.e. three months has passed for this pilot project which started in Britain in June 2022. The companies involved in the study believe that the concept of working 4 days a week is positive. According to media reports, according to Gadsby Pete, co-founder of the content and digital marketing company, there are some negative points in the concept of four days of work and three days of leave, but there are more positives. According to Gadsby Peet, working four days a week has seen a 5 percent drop in production. But the happiness of the employees has increased by 50 percent and because of this their best talent has come out.
Benefit of three days off
The big claim has been made on the basis of a survey on the website of ‘The 4-Day Week Global’, a group of business leaders and strategists. According to the website, 63 percent of the companies surveyed believe that the concept of four days of work and three days of leave has brought great talent. On the other hand, 78 percent of the employees also appeared to be less stressed by this concept.
Trial is about to start in many countries
After Britain, the trial of 4 day working and three off concept is going to start in many countries of Europe along with Canada and America. However, experts in India have not yet seen anything positive about this. Experts believe that the Indian market is not yet mature enough for Europe and America. Because of this, it cannot be implemented in all sectors.
When will it be implemented in India?
Work on the new labor code is going on for a long time. There is also talk of implementing it. However, despite the passage of several deadlines, it has not been implemented. Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had advocated this and said that work from home ecosystem, flexible work places and flexible working hours are the needs of the future. According to the new labor code, there is a provision to give weekly off to the employees for 3 days in a week. But for the remaining 4 days, he will have to work for 12-12 hours. No deadline has been fixed yet for its implementation in India.
Four new codes
The new labor codes are related to Wage, Social Security, Industrial Relations and Occupational Safety. Bhupendra Yadav said that under the new labor code, laws have been made to implement occupational safety.
