質の高いサービスか、ワーク・ライフ・バランスか : 持続可能な労働環境を考える

High quality service or work-life balance? : Contemplating on sustainable working environment

Author

  • Naoko Tojo

Summary, in English

The quality of service provided in Sweden tend not to be as high as that in Japan, which was frustrating for the author during her first 10 years of or so of her life in Sweden. However, when realising how much the worker's work-life balance is respected in society, the author gradually comprehended that the apparent lack of service might be related to the respect on worker's life outside of work life. Where to strike a balance between the two is a matter of societal choice.
