It died in the hands of employees and employers. Surprisingly, many employers are still living in Henry Ford\u2019s time. They even rank workers by the hours present in the office, rather than the output.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But let\u2019s face it; productivity, or rather creativity, dies with exhaustion. You will find many people in the teaching profession, spending more than the standard 40-hour every single week. What for, you may ask. Teachers have to mark and grade test scripts, prepare lesson notes for the next day, and do other things. At the end of the week, they may have spent 60+ hours in total.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if you are reading this, you can see why industrialized countries like the United States of America lack qualified teachers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Employees Killed The 40-Hour Workweek<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are an employee and probably reading this right now, know you are guilty as charged! But it\u2019s not your fault anyway. The system we are in necessitated it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below are two ways employees contribute to making the 40-hour workweek dead:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Working overtime to earn more bucks<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you continually spending extra time at the office? Well, employees in this category killed the 40-hour workweek. But how is that possible? It has to do with the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/balance\/stress-management\/news\/20180716\/working-yourself-to-death-long-hours-bring-risks\" target=\"_blank\">stress associated with working extra hours<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employees, particularly those in the United States of America, are increasingly getting into this overtime work thing. Working overtime means more money in the pocket. One\u2019s income may increase, for sure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the problem is taxation. The more money you make, the higher the tax you may likely pay. So, you may not necessarily make that much money you where hoping to make.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, even when you work overtime, a large chunk of the bonus goes into the tax collector\u2019s pocket. Again, some employers might not even recognize or reward you for the extra time. They will take it that you worked less during the day, that\u2019s why you are working overtime.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take, for example, the teaching profession. Teachers sometimes go home or stay right back at the office to put together lesson notes, grade students, and do other tasks. Most of them spend more than the standard 40 hours captured by their employers. Then, there is the stress factor, which can even make one unproductive. The body needs rest and working after hours consecutively can deprive it of such.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, literately,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/timelyapp.com\/blog\/working-overtime-exploitation-or-opportunity\" target=\"_blank\">working overtime can make one saddened, disengaged<\/a>. An individual that is highly stressed will certainly not give his best. Is this something you want from your employees as a CEO or employer? Or is it something that you would want to become or experience as an employee? Think about it carefully.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Finishing Your Tasks On Time To Have Better Excuses To Leave The Office Early<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some employees enjoy finishing their tasks on-time. And it\u2019s also hard to find such employees spending extra hours in the office. They claim to be more motivated and focused on the job. So, it\u2019s quite easy to tag such employees as being super productive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But we all are humans, not machines. At times, you might be in your peak and give your best during the 9-5 hour window which your employer would undoubtedly bank on when it\u2019s time for payment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now here is the thing, you may become tired after losing so much energy in the quest to complete yesterday\u2019s job on-time. So, what happens today? Of course, you might not be able to give your all because of the exhaustion from yesterday\u2019s work. In the end, you will find yourself exceeding the 40-hour mark in some weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How Millennials Are Changing The 40-Hour Workweek Notion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There were talks about automated techs and AI (artificial intelligence) getting some of the routine jobs meant for humans. Well, that\u2019s happening around the world today. But when one door closes, another door of opportunities opens. There is a plethora of creative positions and opportunities for employees too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the sad thing is that exhaustion cripples creativity. It\u2019s almost impossible to do anything meaningful with yourself when you are tired. Humans are not AIs, neither can we work tirelessly, as automated techs and AIs do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Workers are beginning to understand and give reasons why the 40-hours workweek should forever remain buried. But amongst the numerous professionals calling for this change, the voice and agitations of Millennials have been the loudest.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a need for employees to have a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebalancecareers.com\/ways-to-balance-life-and-work-1271071\" target=\"_blank\">balanced life and work<\/a>. A flexible schedule or work hour and handsome compensation for their effort wouldn\u2019t be a bad idea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Much respect to Henry Ford. But it\u2019s time for employers to call a spade a spade. Ford\u2019s ideology of the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/where-did-40-hour-workweek-come-n192276\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9-5 working hours<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0was targeted at factory workers who do manual jobs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, for a salesperson working in a company, such working hours might not be feasible. If he or she were to communicate with a client who stays in another country and has a different time zone, how possible could this be? Such scenarios might even cause the salesperson to spend extra hours sometimes, to actualize the goal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s time employers accept the fact that the 40-hours workweek is obsolete, dead, and should be discarded. It\u2019s causing more harm to business progress than one can imagine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Notable Companies Are Squashing The Old Law<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you breaking the law for not abiding by the 40-hour workweek? Not at all! As long as you are comfortable with your employer\u2019s terms, you and your employers aren\u2019t doing anything wrong.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The thing is, many notable Silicone Valley establishments have started changing the game. They understand the importance of having employees with a healthy mind and energy. That\u2019s why the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/zapier.com\/blog\/four-day-work-week\/\" target=\"_blank\">32 hours a week offer is driving growth<\/a>\u00a0in most of these companies. Workers come to work each day, knowing that their weekend break begins on Thursday after work.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Millennials have started showing massive interest in the 32 hours workweek most of these companies are offering. They are not only attracted by the compensation and time off packages but how such opportunities can make them even more productive at work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, when you see employees apply to such offers in droves, there is no point tagging them as lazy workers. The truth is, even if one lands a 32-hour per week job, time management still plays a crucial role. If you cannot complete assigned tasks within the 32 hours estimated, you might end up spending more time at the office.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why The Numbers Don\u2019t Lie<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s say, a company hires two employees and pays them handsomely. But in return, the employees are expected to invest at least 50 hours per week. If you are an employer and you actively support this, then you should consider blaming yourself when the results don\u2019t come as expected.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s face it; do you think two persons will be more productive than when three are hired to work on the same project? The short and simple answer is no. You might think that you\u2019re saving money by allowing your workers to work overtime. But you are hurting your business. So, it\u2019s better to hire more hands than allocate the jobs to a few persons who might end up working extra hours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>H<\/strong><\/span><strong>ow To End The 40-Hour Workweek Without Lowering Output<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employers should start considering other work arrangements rather than the regular 40-hour per week thing. With an ideal arrangement, employee productivity can increase. Let\u2019s take a look at simple ways you can achieve this.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>#1 Develop Flexible Working Arrangements<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A flexible work arrangement is one of the ways you can break this cycle. It can also boost employee productivity. Create room for employees to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/grosum.com\/blog\/rewards-risks-remote-working-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">work remotely<\/a>. It will give them a chance to work whenever they are at their best. Of course, the output will be pleasing when you have workers who are in their best state working for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.americanexpress.com\/en-us\/business\/trends-and-insights\/articles\/why-night-owls-are-better-than-early-birds\/\" target=\"_blank\">work best at night<\/a>, while some prefer working during the day. If you have both employees working for you, a flexible work arrangement will ensure you get the best out of them both. Even when they work remotely, you will be sure of getting the expected result.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>#2 Rate Quality Of Work, Not Hours Spent At Work<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who loses when an employee walks into the office, spends the required 8 hours, and goes home without achieving much? The company loses, right? That\u2019s what happens when a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/lizryan\/2016\/12\/26\/the-real-reason-your-boss-is-obsessed-with-working-hours\/\" target=\"_blank\">manager is only concerned about hours, not output<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, to solve this problem, managers should be taught how to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@artem.albul\/people-management-basics-how-to-assign-tasks-to-your-subordinates-17269e81579f\" target=\"_blank\">assign tasks<\/a>. Having an ideal delegation technique will help to ensure that the workload won\u2019t be too much for the overachievers in the company to handle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 40-hour workweek is dead and buried. So, it is high time businesses started looking for ways to implement other working arrangements that will yield expected results. But keep in mind that exhaustion can hamper creativity. So, whatever program work hour you are designing, ensure it is ideal for your employees. Any business that wants to succeed must ensure employees get a comfortable working environment and schedule. This way, you will get the best output.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Author Bio<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mike Ashley is a business writer with a heart of gold.
