We'll all be working four days a week

There are many indications that social changes will force a reduction in working hours. 

"This is already happening in the West," Natalia Gozdowska, a managerial competence development expert from Altkom Akademia, said.

 "The idea raises controversy among entrepreneurs. Regardless, it is worth introducing modern management practices now. They will bring increased efficiency and employee satisfaction," the Altkom Akademia expert added.

The 35-hour work week has been in effect in France since 2002. Many countries are testing a 4-day work week. The key for companies is employee satisfaction and efficiency. Meanwhile, a Deloitte report shows that as many as 80 percent of professionals are thinking about changing jobs. But retaining employees is helped by the principles of modern management, so-called Management 3.0.

Experimenting with shorter working hours is the idea of providing employees with work-life balance, while at the same time taking care of the economic stability of companies.
