Hello, everyone!! Today I’m writing a blog about how to work in Britain. Also, I will blog about the differences in working styles from Japan. I don’t know how to work in Britain. I think the way of working in Japan is one of the hardest in the world. I’m looking forward to writing what the difference is.
🇬🇧 British work 🇬🇧
Take Paid holiday
In Britain, it is natural to take paid holiday. During Easter holidays, summer vacation, and the Christmas season in December, many people take a few weeks off, so they may not be able to work. In Britain, taking paid holiday is a natural right, so it is common sense to cover each other. Among them, there are companies that buy holidays.
Probation period
The second is that there is a trial period called the Probation period. The period is 3 to 6 months. During that period, work attitudes are checked. Employment may not continue if it is determined that it is not suitable for the position. The trial period will be longer if needed.
Work remotely
Thirdly, many people work from home or work flexibly, and work styles tailored to each individual are expanding. Even in Japan, female employees with children work from home or have a reduced working hours system. However, in Britain not only female employees but also male employees are working in a short time. In order to spend more time with the child, he works from full-time to 3 days a week, or works 4 hours a day, depending on the person’s circumstances. I think Japan should also reform work styles so that women and men are equal.
Less overtime
Britain basically has less overtime than Japan. It’s clear on Thursdays and Fridays that pub-loving British people are thinking about drinking in the pub from the morning, so they start preparing to go home before the end of the day. There is no rule that you shouldn’t go home just because they have a boss left. I think it’s good for families with children because they don’t have to think about the time to go home.
🇯🇵 Japanese work 🇯🇵
Japan is said to be overworked compared to Britain. There are various problems such as long working hours, difficulty in taking paid leave, and difficulty in returning to work after childcare leave.
Long working and less vacation
It is a problem that the rate of taking paid leave is low, which is a particular problem in modern Japan, where long working hours and overtime work are not paid a fair wage. With regard to salaries, overtime work is widespread, and this is also a problem in the working environment. Many companies are working overtime, and the appropriate compensation is not always paid, which leads to longer working hours.
The idea of lifetime employment
Lifetime employment is a system that is customary in Japan by continuing to be employed by the same company until a fixed age such as 60 years old is reached. Recently, the number of people who want to gain various experiences and advance their careers without being particular about continuing to work at one company is increasing. It is also true that companies are losing the power to maintain lifetime employment.
A system is seniority
Seniority refers to customs and personnel systems in which positions and wages are determined within an organization based on years of service and age. In seniority, promotion and salary increase are determined by years of service and age. The advantage of being easy to make a training plan is one of the factors that increase the turnover rate of young people due to the heavy burden on the younger generation.
In this way, it turned out that the way of thinking about working styles is completely different between Britain and Japan. I thought I had a good idea of how to work in Britain. I wanted to work in Britain.🥴
