除了缩短工作时间外,经理还敦促员工减少开会和回复电邮的时间。
They suggested that meetings should last no longer than 30 minutes. Employees were also encouraged to cut down on meetings altogether by using an online messaging app (Microsoft's, of course).
经理建议,会议时间不要超过30分钟,并鼓励员工使用(微软的)在线消息应用,减少开会次数。
The effects were widespread. More than 90% of Microsoft's 2,280 employees in Japan later said they were impacted by the new measures, according to the company.
此举产生了广泛的效果。微软公司称,微软在日本的2280名员工当中,超90%的人表示他们受到了新措施的影响。
By shutting down earlier each week, the company was also able to save on other resources, such as electricity.
通过每周提早关门的举措,微软公司还能节省电力等其他资源。
The initiative is timely. Japan has long grappled with a grim — and in some cases, fatal — culture of overwork. The problem is so severe, the country has even coined a term for it: karoshi means death by overwork from stress-induced illnesses or severe depression.
这一新举措来得正是时候。长时间以来,日本一直在和过度工作的严峻(有时甚至是致命的)文化抗争。这一问题太严重了,日本甚至为之创造了一个新词:过劳死。过劳死指的是因为过劳而死于压力引发的疾病或严重抑郁。
