Three benefits of five day work week

Our group would like to represent the topic that is 3 benefits of 5 day work week. Before talking about the main content we will tell you some information about 5 day work week in Viet Nam.

On the seventeenth, september, 1999, the Prime Minister of Government decided about 5 day work week that means people would work 40 hours a week. There were 2 days off, Sartuday and Sunday or two some days in our 7 days. All officials, employees, labourers in the offices, in the administrative units, in the social and political organizations executed this decision.

So, with this policy, all labour forces in everwhere in our country would work 5 days from that resolution. This would open many benefits for the employees. And we just mention to 3 benefits from this decision. In the world, especially in Europe, 5 day work week is a popular process in the advance countries. All offices do not work on Saturday and Sunday. The distribution will be suitable with the Western people. Because they will have free time to relax in 2 days off at weekend. So, the first benefit we want to talk about that is involved in recreative aspect. In reality, Vietnamese peole worked 6 days a week before, they spent all their time on job. It seems to make us become less responsible with all members in our family This is the most common condition that creates many bad effects in our lives. But everything has changed from the decision of the Gorvenment in 1999, eveyone can feel interesting when thinking about 2 days off instead of having tired and boring feeling before. Because we will relax and enjoy the life comfortably.Relaxation always brings us many good effects. Firstly, we will spend our spare time together with our friends or relatives , for example, we organize a pinic with them on Saturday and Sunday. This pinic will set a different atmospherewhich will help us be more comfortable, more joyful. Especially, women need more time in taking care of their husbands and children. They will have time to prepare may good meals for their own family with a great feeling. This

is an important element that makes their family's air become warmer. Children will be happy when being taken care of carefully by their parents. In their study, parents can look over and encourage them to try their best to learn. They will take them to entertainment areas to amuse. With men, thay can go out with their colleagues or their raletives to talk and drink something to enjoy and relax. In addition, the thing is very necessary for the own labourers that they have time to satisfy their needs better than before. We ourselves visit our friends or we can go shopping, so on. This is really essential after hours of toil ( giôø laøm vieäc cöïc nhoïc). Sometimes our company holds many parties on that days off, we can accumulate more experiences and understand more exact about our colleagues. Also, taking part in social activities in our local helps us be friendly with people around. All things contribute considerably to the success in our job.

The second benefit we want to refer that is about economic aspect.The first we will talk about that is the government budget will reduce considerably over that of 6 day work week before.Normally, the government has to spend a sum of money to pay for electricity, water, some other things, medical spending....This payment becomes more and more higher in the recent life. According to the statistics in some companies, the government has to pay 1 billion VND a month for these spendings on average. This will be changed in 5 day work week. We will save a huge sum of money. Instead of spending too much we can use these money to invest on another purposes of the government. Be sure that the interest (tieàn laõi) which we have is very much if we invest continously. The government budget will decrease instead of increasing before.Secondly,before we work 6 days a week that means 48 hours a week. We received salary with a low level. Our time spent too much but our salary was too little. This was a main cause why our lives' quality was too low compared with the most countries in the same area. So, living standard was low and was not ensured perfectly about medical care also other services. Our economic could not develop strongly until there was this decision from the Prime Minister in 1999. Now, we just work 5 days a week and our income is raised higher. From then to now, there is considerable change in our economy. We not also solve well about the labourers' salary but also contribute usefully to their expenditure. Because the

development of a country is partly belong to people's expenditure.Besides, the social evils will reduce noticeably, our country's situation will change quickly when the problems seem not to settle to turn out to be resolved. On the decrease about working hours and on the increase about the salary will a decisive condition in the economic development of the country.

The last benefits our group will represent about that is work effect. At this aspect, we will come to the following things: an inspiration in working, a perfect plan for the next week, no pressure no stress.With a long time in a week, our inspiration seems not to exist in the job. We just know to go to the office to finish our tasks as usual. When there are no inspiration we will have no creativeness in our working process. Decreasing the time will be an active state in establishing the inspiration. Our creative ability will grow much compared with the working process before. Our working process reduces from 48 hours to 40 hours a week. So, work effect will increase more and more.

Drawing up a plan that helps you be more self-confident than your job before going to the office. In 2 days off, you will think over many plans to draw a perfect one. That perfect thought makes you get an active effect in process of work. In Viet Nam, there are many cases which people take advantage of time to do another things in office hours. With a long office hours but the volume of work is little, there are some people which pretend not to know about their own task. With the recent hours distribution, the short time and the suitable volume of work will bring the satisfactory effects to the labourers in general. Also, we know that the pressure from job is very high if we do not finish our huge volume of work. That pressure becomes more and more higher if our job comes to a standstill. We will not be afraid of that pressure if we have a good time in 2 days off to work out a good resolution. Be sure that the effect which we get is excellent. Besides,we will suffer from stress brought on by overwork. Stress can affect us badly. So, we need have the suitable working time to overcome the stress well.Much pressures of the work causes much stresses and maybe the pressure of the job forces us to be more hot-tempered. This makes us become uncomfortable and tired.

So, 5 day work week has reduced the standstill ( aùch taét),the pressure and the stress partly for us. Then our job becomes more convenient and more efficient than ever.

In short, the benefits which we get from 5 day work week will be an important factor to solve many problems we encountered in the last years with 48 hours a week.
