Sweden will implement a reduced work schedule to increase
productivity and happiness.
There are more and more companies in Sweden implementing
a working time of only six hours. Filimundos, an app development company in
Stockholm, gave the good news to its employees a year ago.
"Eight hours a day are not efficient," Linus Feldt, CEO of Fast Company, told Fast Company. "It's difficult for us to stay focused for eight hours, so we can pause and distract ourselves with other things, and at the same time we can not manage our family life."
To shorten working hours, Filimundos has imposed some rules that include banning social networking in the office and minimizing meetings.

There are also hospitals that are changing working hours
and a nursing home in Gothenburg has applied the timetable in the experimental
phase.
The results have been positive. At Toyota's Gotemburg plant, the six-hour schedule has been used for 13 years and employees are happier, less unjustified, and the company's revenues have even increased.
