Mind-Blowing Iceland Facts to Make You Fall in Love with the Country
One Of The Best Examples of Work-Life Balance
Iceland is a country known for its stunning natural wonders and Nordic culture, but it’s also at the forefront of promoting work-life balance. From 2015 to 2019, the country ran the world’s largest trial of a four-day workweek. The results showed that workers had increased levels of job satisfaction, were healthier, and were actually more productive.
This trial ran across a wide range of businesses including hospitals, preschools, offices, and social services, and inspired 86 percent of Icelandic employees to work shorter weeks or have the right to request shorter weeks. Besides the lesser working hours than most countries, it boasts a GDP per capita of over $68K.
