Sweden introduce standard 6-hour working day

The eight-hour working day is standard practice among businesses across the world.

In Ireland, the average worker works approximately 8.5 hours per day of a standard 39-hour working week. Despite these standard working hours we tend to think that by working longer we will see the benefits later but this rarely works in our favour.

Sweden has challenged this common practice with a move toward a shorter standard 6-hour working day.
