The 30-hour workweek. Promising or pipe dream - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog There is currently huge interest in the 30-hour workweek in many workplaces . But is this just a pipe dream or could it actually lead to better results, happier workplaces and less stress? In this video I talk to Lena R?belmann and Juliana Wolfsberger who have written a masters thesis called The 30-hour Workweek -A Promising Alternative for Knowledge Workers? at Lund University School of Economics and Management about their findings.

If you want to know more, Juliana and Lena are happy to share their findings.
