Four-day work week trial and year of paid parental leave recommended by Senate committee
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-03-10/four-day-work-week-paid-parental-leave-committee/102068586
The committee suggested the government use the 100:80:100 model:
"Whereby employees retain 100 per cent of the salary while reducing their hours to 80 per cent while maintaining 100 per cent productivity," it said.
This is an excellent idea for work life balance, families, new parents, productivity, and overall quality of life. I think it will be especially useful for Knowledge Workers ā contrary to what many managers say, more hours of work does _not_ increase the quantity of output, and I find that long hours decreases the quality of output and leads to having to fix-up stuff later. If you're serious about achieving good quality at work then don't over-do the hours.
