World work style

 This page briefly introduces working styles outside Germany. (Reference: Recruit Works Institute / Overseas Case Studies )

1,How to work in the Netherlands

 In a word, the characteristics of the way of working in the Netherlands can be described as natural .
Dutch people also behave modestly to others. In addition, education freedom was established earlier in the Netherlands than in Japan. Perhaps because of this, part-time people occupy the majority in the workplace Is happening.
However, salary is inferior to regular employees, but other treatment is basically the same as regular employees . Isn't this the answer to your working hours with your needs?
In the Netherlands, instead of returning flat employees first, there is a trend that " boss goes back first ". As for this too, subordinates are more likely to return when the person above is returned , so this trend would be very good.

2,British way of working

 The basic philosophy of UK work style reform announced by the UK government is " Balance the work and life of workers .
For this purpose, the country has created an organization called WLB and has prepared facilities for childcare leave, home and employment.
 The UK also offers free childcare for low-income earners, and in the near future 30 hours It seems to extend to.
Paid vacation has also been extended from 20th to 28th .
On the other hand, 97% of all companies are working to create an environment where they can cooperate and work flexibly in the national business. Is. Also, a majority of owners say that these countries' systems are very favorable . In this way, It is also necessary for each citizen to cooperate with the country in order to promote working style reform .

3,American way of working

 In the United States, telecommuting is mainly promoted, and the "Working at Home Promotion Act" was promulgated in 2009. 11% The number of people to do increased. In the United States, there are many cases where state-based work style reforms are implemented rather than the government pushing for work style reforms.

example 1,About San Francisco

 San Francisco is said to have established laws early in the United States. That is the "Family Friendly Workplace Ordinance" promulgated in 2014. This means that more than 20 owners of a company with more than 20 people have worked for the company for more than 6 months to help those who have children, the elderly, and other people in need of family care in their families. People want flexible working styles.
A similar scheme was issued in Vermont a few months later.


example 2,About California

 In 2004, California launched the paid family leave system . This provides approximately 55% of normal wages for up to 6 weeks when workers rest to take care of their family . However, partly because the state is involved, this money is paid by the tax paid by the worker and the owner does not have to pay it . This is a very efficient system that eliminates the barriers that a company cannot introduce in economic terms.

 Furthermore, in the United States, we work with NGOs and academic institutions to raise awareness, conduct events, and provide information to raise mutual awareness.
In addition, some US venture companies have free time and place, and some have commuter buses, playgrounds, and gyms.
In the United States, work style reforms are centered on aid and freedom, and this is also a good system that allows each person to work differently.

4,Throughout

 Germany has a wide variety of systems and people work with some of them. Furthermore, in the United States, as the land is large, laws are being created in each state to promote reform. However, no matter how hard the country works, it is impossible to push forward work style reform unless companies and individuals cooperate in reforming the country like the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Therefore, comparing the Japanese system with the foreign system, it seems that each person has to cooperate with the company or the country, rather than treating work style reform like other personnel.
