Lee Suckling reveals the french workplace rule all kiwi companies should be following. Six years ago, the French Government implemented a so-called “right to disconnect” policy, forbidding sending work emails outside office hours. A weekend email is an unwanted and obtrusive action that your manager believes is harmless ¬– they didn’t expect you to read it while bathing your toddler! In fact, 87 per cent of people check work emails outside normal working hours, and 50 per cent of us still check emails when on holiday. We all have work emails on our phones, and some jobs have emergencies that need to be dealt with after hours.
