*[Enwl-eng] Working longer hours doesn't mean getting more done

[enwl-eng]

                        The pandemic taught us we need to do things 
differently.









                        A Shorter Workweek Benefits Companies and Workers 
Alike. It's Time for the 4-Day Workweek, Now!

                        Working longer hours doesn't necessarily mean 
getting more done — in fact, it often can mean getting less done, with 
workers zoning out and burning out, trying to force themselves to be more 
productive as the hours tick by. Counterintuitively, working fewer hours can 
actually yield more results and higher productivity. Many companies and even 
whole countries are finding that shorter workweeks can improve employees' 
mental health, physical health, and work/life balance, as well as their 
focus, drive, and commitment at work. The movement is already spreading, 
with Shake Shack, Kickstarter, Toshiba, Iceland, Japan, and more embracing 
4-day workweek. That's why the California legislature is currently 
considering a bill that would create a 32-hour workweek for large companies 
in the state.



                        If California, the fifth-largest economy in the 
world, were to adopt this groundbreaking policy, it could change workers' 
lives for the better. It could also set an important precedent for other 
states to follow! The pandemic taught us that we don't have to keep doing 
things the same way they've been done for decades. As U.S. Congressman Mark 
Takano has stated, "After a nearly two-year-long pandemic that forced 
millions of people to explore remote work options, it's safe to say that we 
can't — and shouldn't — simply go back to normal, because normal wasn't 
working." Workers, families, and companies alike all benefit from a 4-day 
workweek. It should be a no-brainer. Sign the petition to tell the 
California legislature that a shortened workweek would benefit everyone! 
Lawmakers must pass AB2932, the 32-hour workweek bill!




                 Thank you,
