The HERshyt Show 101 End 40 Hour Work Weeks!

The HERshyt Show

On this episode of The HERShyt Show, Hersh and Felicia Discuss 40 Hour Work Weeks and their effectiveness or lack thereof. Then we found that in Luxembourg, the most productive country, there is an average work week of 29 hours.
Timeline:
1926: Henry Ford popularized the 40-hour work week after he discovered through his research that working more yielded only a small increase in productivity that lasted a short period of time.
1938: Congress passed the Fair Labor Standards Act, which required employers to pay overtime to all employees who worked more than 44 hours a week. They amended the act two years later to reduce the work week to 40 hours.
1940: The 40-hour work week became U.S. law.
According to a past survey from AtTask, this is a general breakdown of how employees spend their time at work:
45% = primary job duties
40% = meetings, administrative tasks, and "interruptions"
14% = email
