📢 The Time for a Shorter Workweek in Ireland is Now 🇮🇪

The data is clear: longer hours do not equate to higher productivity. In fact, reduced work time initiatives have led to happier, healthier, and more effective workers globally.

In Ireland, the government won't trial a #4dayweek in parts of the public service. 🇮🇪 should learn from 🇯🇵 #Better4Everyone

Tokyo is turning to a 4-day work week in a desperate attempt to help Japan shed its unwanted title of ‘world’s oldest population’ https://t.co/10BBCmSIp8

🔸 In-Depth Research: The evidence for a shorter workweek is strong, but more sector-specific insights are needed. A Working Time Council would help us gather vital data and ensure this shift is both practical and beneficial across Ireland.

Listen back to @grace_tallon speaking about the Shorter Workweek Ireland Campaign.

“A shorter workweek is not radical.

What’s radical is that we are still working with a structure that was designed when only 20% of the workforce was made up of women.”

A reduced hour workweek benefits workers, supports a healthier society, and strengthens our economy.

🔹 Create a Working Time Council for Government-Sponsored Research: A council made up of unions, industry leaders, and policymakers should examine research on the potential impacts of reduced work hours, from productivity to social and environmental outcomes.
