📢 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’ fortune.com/2024/12/07/tokyo…

Tokyo is turning to a 4-day work week in a desperate attempt to help Japan shed its unwanted title...

Just over 3 weeks before Ireland goes to the polls. Shorter Workweek needs to be on every party’s agenda. To get it there, we need your help. Using the guide in our profile, contact your candidates, let them know how important a shorter workweek is. #ShorterWorkWeekIreland

🔸 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.

It’s time for bold action on work-life balance.  Irish workers deserve a future that prioritizes productivity and well-being over clocking long hours.  #ShorterWorkWeekIreland

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.” rte.ie/radio/radio1/drivetim…

🔹 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.
