Xu Hanxiong, a polar news commentator

On September 20th, Beijing time, pilot plans implemented by the non -profit organization "4 Day Week Global" show that the four -day working system is feasible. A survey announced by the organization on Tuesday found that 78%of the leaders of more than 70 four -day work systems said that they had achieved a smooth or "seamless" transition. Most people (88%) said that the four -day work system is valid. (According to the interface news on September 20)

This six -month pilot plan is the world's largest pilot. The survey showed that 86%of the British companies participating in the pilot plan said that after the pilot of November, they might maintain a four -day work arrangement. Nearly half (49%) respondents said that productive forces have improved, and 46% indicate that productivity has remained stable.

The British four -day work system is just the latest example of similar tests in Western countries. In 2018, the "Global Four -Day Working System" established in New Zealand took the lead in opening the test.

Does it sound beautiful for four days a week? In fact, in recent years, there have been many regions in China that have started a 4.5 -day elastic work system, that is, encouraging the implementation of 2.5 days of elastic vacation on weekends to promote tourism and consumption. This is only a half -day difference from the "four -day work system". So, will the "four -day work system" be introduced? In this regard, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security has clearly pointed out that the current working hours system is in line with reality, and it is basically the same as the working hours level of most economically developed countries or regions. It is a relatively advanced and scientific labor standard.

In August 2020, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Affairs made it clear in a reply: further shortening the working hours standards does not have the realistic foundation and should not be widely implemented in enterprises. Under the current economic situation, shortening working hours will increase the pressure of enterprise production and operation, bring high employment costs and burdens, and affect economic development.

The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Affairs especially emphasized that in recent years, the relevant survey shows that my country's proportion of enterprises that can strictly implement the current working hours standards are not high and the overtime conditions are more.

It can be seen that it is good to implement the current working hours standards. According to regulations, the state's working hours of workers' daily working hours of no more than eight hours and no more than 44 hours of weekly working hours; employers should ensure that workers rest for at least one day a week.

In fact, some employers cannot do work according to law, and employees over excessive overtime or even sudden death accidents occur from time to time. It is said that the four -day working system can improve work efficiency and improve employee happiness. 78%of employees have expressed their improvement in happiness and decreased pressure. This liter is actually a way of relaxation. Ensure that employees rest and avoid excessive fatigue caused by overtime. They are full of energy and naturally efficient. Conversely, if the working time is too long and the employee is tired, it will be efficient.

It can be seen that no matter how many days of work system, it is important to achieve a combination of work and rest, so that employees have room for relaxation. The work system is not the focus. The focus is on the intensity of labor and labor, and in terms of workload, employees cannot be overwhelmed, and employees must be eliminated and carried.

As a company owner in the "four -day work system" pilot said, the quality of life of employees is directly related to the competitiveness of the company. "Through our corporate culture, it is given great autonomy to employees. I hope everyone will have more Freedom space to realize the common commitment of individuals and collectives. "Some said that they can flexibly allow each employee to choose a dense work for 4 days based on their personal circumstances, or scattered the work in 5 days.

It can be seen that the four -day work system is not only four days of work, but the focus of allowing employees to arrange working hours flexibly. The workload of one week, even if the employee only completes three days, it is also possible. Some employees said, "The 4 days at work are really busy, but then there are 3 days of free time to rest and do what they like."

Therefore, instead of envying the "four -day work system", it is better to understand the relaxation of the way, and arrange the working hours of employees reasonably to ensure the improvement of work efficiency.
