By UK To Introduce Right To Switch Off After Work
In recent news, the UK government is working to introduce the right to switch off when outside work, as this is said to be a key to productivity and could boost the UK’s economic growth, Downing Street has said.
The UK government has promised to introduce a “right to switch off” so people’s homes do not become “24/7 offices”.
The UK Ministers are exploring models as applicable in other countries, particularly Ireland and Belgium, where workers already have the “right to disconnect” and not routinely be contacted by their employer or required to work outside of their normal hours.
“This is about ensuring people have time to rest after work hours,” the prime minister’s deputy spokesperson said.
“Good employers understand that for workers to stay motivated and productive they need to be able to switch off, and a culture of presenteeism can be damaging to productivity.”
