It was for many Swedes perhaps a dream, the zesurige working day, but an experiment in a care home in Gothenburg is in financial terms a disappointment too. The experiment offered many advantages for employees and for the elderly, but the local authority comes to the conclusion that it is too expensive to run.
From the two-year experiment shows that there are seventeen additional staff members are necessary to the 68 attendants from one nursing home of the normal eight-hour working day to a zesurige working day to let go, writes the news agency Bloomberg. That cost 1.25 million euros.
The employees who participated in the experiment felt themselves to be healthier, resulting in less absenteeism. Also, the patients are better cared for by the keepers. The Gothenburg experiment is one of the many trials that Sweden is doing to the welfare state. The experiment was by the whole world followed, because Sweden as a role model is seen when it comes to working conditions.
