CAMBRIDGE IELTS 19, TEST 2, WRITING TASK 2
The working week should be shorter and workers should have a longer weekend. Do you agree or disagree?
Whether or not business days in a week should be reduced thereby increasing the length of time for personal relaxation for the working class has been a cause for a lot of debate recently. Clearly, although this change could benefit staff members who may feel more mentally and physically refreshed after a longer period of rest, I believe we are not yet ready to make the switch.
On the one hand, a reduction in the number of work days could be highly beneficial, as it would lead to increased productivity and a better work-life balance. First of all, when employees are given more time as day offs, they can focus more on their physical and mental health. For example, with more time for relaxation, employees can incorporate more exercise into their daily routine, leading to increased efficiency and productivity at work. Secondly, they have a chance to spend more time with their family, improving the relationships, which again causes more happiness and tremendous mental sharpness. All these factors play a crucial role in the eventual performance of the workers at their workplace, increasing productivity immensely.
On the other hand, I believe we have to take several key points into account before making such a huge decision as the current system is not ready for this. First off, if companies around the globe are to make this switch, they have to carry out plenty of research and planning as to decide what might be the most optimal approach to make it happen. For instance, if we were to have a shorter work week starting tomorrow, how much work should be required from each employee? What about the managers? What do we need to do to maintain the same level of profitability after this system modification? Such questions may not have positive answers, and for that reason, most government or private employers are not ready yet.
In conclusion, although a shorter work week may seem appealing and offer numerous benefits, I believe most companies are not ready to make such a drastic change.
