Post Compass - During this time, eight hours of work in a day become conditions imposed by the company throughout the world. Not indiscriminate, hours of work are in fact championed by the workers of the world in the year 1886.

But later, the Government of Sweden tried to find out whether the eight hour work day really effective or not.

For one full year, the nurses at the home of retired Svartedalens, be the subject of an experiment by the Government of Sweden.

This experiment is positive and beneficial, because the nurses required to work only six hours even though the paid staff of eight hours of work.

As a result, the experiment turns out to have a positive result against the productivity of the nurses. This is because 68 nurses who become the subject of experimentation, it turns out that only takes sick leave half of the outside groups experiment. In addition, they have only 2.9 times trend took time off in the two-week period.

Bengt Lorentzon, researcher of the project say that the nurses found 20 per cent happier and have more energy either in the workplace or while resting.

The nurses also so 64 percent more activity with residents of a nursing home.

Sweden has actually tried to enforce a policy of cutting working hours earlier from 1989 to 2005. But the policy is deleted because of lack of supporting data. In the United Kingdom, a survey held to do the reduction of working hours, the results: six of the top ten boss supports the reduction of hours of work.

However, according to associate professor of Human Resource Management in the Marymont University, Pramila Rao; six hours of work policy is unacceptable by all countries, because many organizations that worry if productivity probably will fall.
