WORKING CULTURE AROUND THE WORLD

There is many Working culture around the world that can suprise you, for example like:

in israel The workweek in Israel runs from Sunday – Thursday so that citizens are free to
observe Shabbat, the Jewish Holy Day, from sundown on Friday to Saturday evening. The
standard Israeli work week is 43 hours, and many Israeli workers sneak in some work hours
on Friday morning. Professionals in some Israeli industries, such as tech, have adopted a
Western schedule to keep in touch with their international counterparts, but this is typically
the exception rather than the rule.
In france French workers are protected by a Right to Disconnect Law, which stipulates that
most French professionals are not responsible for responding to emails that come in after
hours. The measure was adopted to protect employees from being overworked. This is
something we can only dream about in the U.S., but in France, it’s regarded as a necessary
means to ensure a healthy work-life balance.
in JapanRadio taiso is a 15-minute exercise regimen that is commonly enacted in Japan. It
earned its name because the steps and music that accompany the workout are broadcast
throughout the day on Japan’s National Radio (NHK).  Students engage the warm-up before
classes, just as staff at many companies perform Radio taiso as a collective unit each
morning. Companies invite employees to exercise together to build morale, reduce stress and
create a feeling of unity among team members.
In SwedenThe Swedes believe that taking breaks seeds productivity, which is why they
take coffee breaks, or fika, very seriously. Fika gives Swedish workers an opportunity to
relax and enjoy a beverage and a sweet with their colleagues. Some Swedish businesses have
formal fika, breaking daily at 9 and 3 to invite conversation and camaraderie among staff.
Other companies are less formal in their implementation; either way, fika is an
institutionalized mainstay for Swedes.
At Iceland A trailblazer for equality, Iceland has set an impressive standard for parental
leave. When an Icelandic family welcomes a new baby, each parent gets three months of
parental leave. Then the couple gets an additional three months of leave to share. Each parent
earns 80 percent of his or her salary while on leave. The hope is that both parents have an
equal chance to learn childcare skills and to bond with the new baby.
