SEPTEMBER 4, 8:00 AM – 11:45 AM AT THE GRAND HOTEL
The Challenge: Less Work
Improved health – increased performance…
Healthcare and Attentus
The conference is aimed at human resources managers, organizational managers, and parties involved in administrative and employee health aspects.
The conference will feature presentations focusing on the impact of long working hours on health, as stress and stress-related illnesses are increasingly common and burnout is a widespread problem. Organizational managers are increasingly considering the health of their employees, seeking solutions to reduce stress and improve employee well-being.
With the introduction of new collective agreements, there is now an increased emphasis on flexibility and a shortened workweek without pay cuts. The living wage agreement stipulates a 45-minute reduction in working hours per week from 1 January 2020. The implementation of the reduction is in the hands of each workplace.
By shortening working hours, it is possible to reduce the impact of long working hours on employees’ health, promote work-life balance, and thereby increase quality of life. These are managerial and demanding challenges that require resourcefulness and management skills.
The tools and devices. What solutions and methods can be used for such an implementation? What do measurements and surveys say when looking at sick leave, overtime, efficiency and success? What are the positive effects and what are the benefits regarding mental well-being and job satisfaction?
