If quality of life can't be factored into “productivity”, then it's a failed system designed only to benefit a minority of people who are becoming excessively wealthy off the work of others.

From an employer’s perspective, the main factor influencing productivity is the number of hours worked.

This isn't the 1800s. When you look at the studies, where people are given a human-focused work schedule (i.e. fewer hours) with ample time to rest and recover (i.e. more time off), their productivity goes up.

The fact that we're seeing productivity go down is a symptom of how workers are treated, their lack of compensation for the time they take away from their family, and the burden on their health that working non-stop causes.
