OUR PURPOSE
At the heart of the Shorter Work Week Campaign is a commitment to reshaping the future of work for the betterment of all workers. We advocate for a more balanced, productive, and fulfilling work life by promoting the adoption of reduced work hours without sacrificing pay, ensuring equal benefits and opportunities for everyone. Our mission is to support policymakers, trade union leaders, and organizations in implementing these transformative changes.
A shorter workweek is not just about reducing hours; it's about enhancing efficiency, improving mental health, fostering gender equity, and creating more inclusive work environments. Backed by extensive research and real-world success stories from companies worldwide, our campaign empowers both employers and employees to embrace a sustainable and human-centered approach to work.
A shorter workweek leads to a stronger society, a more innovative economy, and a healthier environment. Together, we challenge outdated norms and pave the way for a work culture where wellbeing, productivity, and individual liberty are prioritized.
