The demand for shorter working hours has been a topic of discussion for years, with arguments suggesting it would have a positive impact on work efficiency and employee satisfaction. On the other hand, employers argue that shortening working hours would decrease productivity. Minister of Labor and Social Security Vedat Işıkhan also spoke to Beyaz TV regarding working hours that concern millions of public and private sector employees in Turkey.

WHILE EMPLOYEES EXPECT A REDUCTION IN WORKING HOURS

Minister Işıkhan, while answering a question about whether the new generation of work would include extended vacation periods, stated, "What we want to express is that new generation working models are something beyond that. As the Ministry of Labor, we are in favor of working, producing, and creating added value. Whenever any issue regarding working hours comes up, we express this in all our meetings with our social stakeholders; in order to create a strong Turkey and to have a strong economy, we need to work more, and we need to produce more, let alone working hours."

A NEW MODEL WILL BECOME COMMON IN WORK LIFE

Minister of Labor and Social Security Vedat Işıkhan indicated that a new work model will become widespread in working life, stating, "One of the most important tools for increasing employment will be new generation working models. Part-time work, hourly work, and one of the most important things is partial work," he said.
