You can finish work a few hours earlier, but with one condition – you will immediately go home, not somewhere else. The managers of the real estate development company “Eika” intend to address their employees with such an offer on November 20. It is on this day that it is proposed to declare Home Day throughout Lithuania and invite all employees home earlier – at 3 p.m.
You can finish work a few hours early, but with one condition – you will immediately go home, not anywhere else..Real estate development companies intend to address their employees with this offer on November 20th. “Go” It is proposed to declare this day as Home Day throughout Lithuania and invite all employees home earlier – at 3 p.m.
“November is one of the darkest months. Most people come to work just after sunrise, and leave after sunset. We spend the entire daylight hours at work. In the end, when they return home, a significant number of Lithuanians only manage to eat and spend the night. This means that there is no time left for themselves or their family, and the house becomes a kind of hotel. However, a house is much more than a roof over your head,” says Martynas Žibūda, development director of the company “Eika”.
The fact that Lithuanians are spending less and less time at home was confirmed by a study conducted in September by the market and public opinion research company Spinter Research. It showed that almost a quarter of Lithuanians believe that people spend less time at home now than they did 10 or 15 years ago. More than half of Lithuanians would like to spend more time at home, but simply cannot.
M. Žibūda invites not only people who spend less and less time at home, but also the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania, to remember and enjoy their home – one of the most precious places in every person’s life.
“Open your calendars – you will find days dedicated to science and knowledge, culture, youth or safe traffic. Every year in May we congratulate mothers, in June – fathers, in October we remember teachers. However, the most precious place – home – does not have its own day in the calendars. This fact seems a bit unfair – we want to change this situation. We will initiate the inclusion of Home Day in the calendar, – says the representative of “Eika”.
Calendars feature a number of interesting and smile-making international days – International Plant Admiration Day, International Toilet Day, World Penguin Day, and even a day dedicated to cakes.
“Every employer who cares about their employees knows that time spent at home is vitally important for every person. Home is the best source of energy. Therefore, employees who finish work one day early will certainly not harm the company’s productivity and results. Quite the opposite, in fact,” M. Žibūda is convinced.
Employees who won’t be able to get away for the most important meeting of the day – a meeting with their family – a few hours earlier in the afternoon on November 20 are invited to spend some free time with their family in the evening. The real estate development expert encourages you to plan a quiet evening at home now – cook dinner together, bake a long-promised cake, play board games or look through old family albums together.
Various Lithuanian companies are planning to join Home Day on November 20, during which employees will return home earlier.
