世界上最大的四天工作周试点开始 | 口语小本本spoken.cc

[00:00.00]Now as we've talked about, 
[00:01.12]the pandemics affected so much, 
[00:03.30]it's changed how we work as well, 
[00:04.58]but what about ditching the five-day week 
[00:06.69]and instead working just four days. 
[00:08.65]Today sees the start of what's thought 
[00:10.18]to be the world's biggest ever trial of a 
[00:12.13]four-day working week.
[00:13.77]Over the next six months, 
[00:15.10]academics here in the UK and the US 
[00:17.35]will monitor around 70 companies, 
[00:19.74]to see if it's possible to drop a day 
[00:21.51]and still be as productive.
[00:23.80]Experts will be watching closely to see 
[00:25.17]if it could even boost the economy 
[00:26.76]as Emma Simpson reports.
[00:28.43]Instead of working a five day week 
[00:30.98]how about pouring it all into four, 
[00:33.50]we're talking a hundred percent of pay 
[00:36.12]for eighty percent of the hours.
[00:38.57]This small brewery is about to try.
[00:41.56]Well we're a simple business we have to 
[00:43.51]produce and package 
[00:44.72]the same amount of beer every week, 
[00:46.23]that we do now, that's our challenge.
[00:47.96]The pandemic has already given us 
[00:50.24]a taste of flexible working, this boss 
[00:53.90]believes it's time for a new approach.
[00:55.73]There's a real sense of this is the way 
[00:58.13]we do things because this is the way 
[00:59.47]we do things, and people don't 
[01:00.84]rethink things, they don't think about 
[01:02.60]what's necessary, and this is a chance for us 
[01:04.66]to do something positive with that.
[01:06.33]Staff are keen to make it work.
[01:08.83]How are you going to be more productive?
[01:10.89]Just being quicker being more, if I know 
[01:13.16]I've got to get stuff done in four days time, 
[01:14.83]i'll so enjoy that extra day 
[01:16.32]I think that'll be a good incentive.
[01:17.95]British workers do some of 
[01:19.88]the longest hours in Europe, 
[01:21.78]and we're also nothing like 
[01:23.53]as productive as we should be, 
[01:25.40]could we perform better if we do fewer ours? 
[01:29.40]that's what this big trial is trying to find out.
[01:31.63]Around 70 firms are taking part, 
[01:34.60]this recruitment company 
[01:36.70]in Exeter started in January, 
[01:38.17]Fiona uses her day off to get chores done, 
[01:41.13]so she can enjoy the weekend.
[01:42.89]If you're happier outside of work, 
[01:45.22]you're happier in work, 
[01:46.13]and there is the productiveness there.
[01:48.39]Josh likes golf but the big thing is child care.
[01:51.51]Most of the time 
[01:52.39]I spend with my young daughter, 
[01:53.77]so again which frees up a lot of money 
[01:56.24]for nursery fees which is always helpful.
[01:57.81]It's all about productivity, 
[01:59.96]the boss Simon started a four-day week 
[02:02.48]for a better work-life balance, 
[02:04.41]and says profits are actually up.
[02:06.68]Interestingly across the board all of our 
[02:09.42]inputs have gone up and quite simply 
[02:11.30]everyone's doing more in less time.
[02:13.13]People are burning out.
[02:15.54]Here's the professor leading the research 
[02:17.78]for this global four-day week project, 
[02:20.34]but how realistic is it?
[02:21.89]You can be 100 product as productive 
[02:25.94]in 80 of the time in many workplaces, 
[02:28.55]it's also about the whole economics of this.
[02:31.99]So that you might become 10 more 
[02:34.43]productive but that your company 
[02:36.10]is also saving on healthcare costs 
[02:38.35]on hiring new people, 
[02:40.27]so that they come out ahead in the end.
[02:42.22]Packing the work into four days is a tall order, 
[02:45.81]but this brewery hopes 
[02:46.91]it will deliver a better way to work.

世界上最大的四天工作周试点开始

World's biggest pilot of four-day week begins

Thousands of UK workers are starting a four-day week trial from Monday.
About 70 companies are taking part in what is thought to be the world's biggest pilot scheme into the working pattern over the next six months.
The experiment has been organised by a group campaigning for a shorter working week, but for no loss in wages.
During the trial, employees will get 100% pay for 80% of the hours they would usually work, with the aim of being more productive.
