Why Sweden’s 6 Hour Work Day is a Bad Idea

Why Sweden’s 6 Hour Work Day is a Bad Idea

Here’s what I think about Sweden switching to a 6-hour work day. Great move, but not the best way to reinvent work. Let’s start thinking about 100% Autonomy, 100% Accountability and let people get their work done how they need to for their best work, best life, and your best customer experience!
I share my thoughts in this short video.

    Hi Pam: Yes, I got excited when I read an article about the 6-hour work day in Sweden. Yes, I sent it around on Linked and Twitter. My excitement about another way of doing work hampered my ability to take into account other ways of working such as ROWE! Autonomy is a core motivational driver for all of us. I also appreciate your perspective that a 6-hour work day is a start - indeed there is still much work to do. We get to play as we plug away at this challenge! Cheers, Natalie

    I think everything said made a ton of sense. However, what about this? suppose you were to create a killer headline? I mean, I don't wish to tell you how to run your blog, but what if you added a title to possibly get folk's attention? I mean Pam Ross – Why Sweden’s 6 Hour Work Day is a Bad Idea is kinda vanilla. You should look at Yahoo's front page and note how they create news headlines to get people to open the links. You might add a related video or a related picture or two to get readers excited about what you've got to say. In my opinion, it could make your posts a little bit more interesting.

    Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
