Poland Introduces Four-Day Work Week Without Salary Reduction.


Currently, 10 million zlotys ($2.7 million) have been allocated for the implementation of the project, which aims to reduce total working Time by 20% each year. In the city of Włocławek, a reduced work week has already been implemented, and the Herbapol Poznań company has joined the initiative and positively evaluated it.
The Advantages of a Reduced Work Week
People in Poland are known for their great work ethic, but the length of the working day is not always beneficial for increasing productivity. A shorter week helps avoid stress, mistakes, and injuries, allowing workers to rest, take care of their health, and family.
Scientific studies show that a shorter work week leads to fewer mistakes and distractions, increases productivity, and becomes a competitive advantage in the labor market while keeping salary levels unchanged. Such reforms are already successfully functioning in France, Denmark, and Belgium, where they have led to GDP growth and improved quality of life.
Thus, a shorter working day in Poland will contribute to improving working conditions, increasing productivity, and helping to become competitive in the labor market.
