日本微软公司上4天放3天，结果工作效率……

虽然一直有传言

要改成一周上4.5天班或4天班

但真的实施起来可能非常困难……

在“加班文化”盛行的日本

微软尝试了一下上4放3！

The company introduced a program this summer in Japan called the "Work Life Choice Challenge," which shut down its offices every Friday in August and gave all employees an extra day off each week.

今年夏天，微软公司在日本引进了一个名为“工作生活选择挑战”的项目，八月的每个周五都会关闭办公室，让员工每周多放一天假。

结果微软发现

效果还不错哦！

While the amount of time spent at work was cut dramatically, productivity — measured by sales per employee — went up by almost 40% compared to the same period the previous year, according to the company's statement.

微软在一份声明中说，尽管工作时间大幅缩短，但工作效率（按照每位员工的销售业绩来计算）同比提高近40%。

In addition to reducing working hours, managers urged staff to cut down on the time they spent in meetings and responding to emails.

除了缩短工作时间外，经理还敦促员工减少开会和回复邮件的时间。

The effects were widespread. More than 90% of Microsoft's 2,280 employees in Japan later said they were impacted by the new measures, according to the company.

微软公司称，他们在日本的2280名员工当中，超90%的人表示自己受到了新措施的影响。

By shutting down earlier each week, the company was also able to save on other resources, such as electricity.

通过提早关门的举措，公司还可以节能。

Overwork（过劳）一直是人们关注的问题

一些企业也开始寻找这一问题的解决方案

你支持上四天还是五天呢？
