HK workers more flexible working hours and extra paid leave

Workers in Asia clock more hours on the job than any other continent, and with Hong Kong as one of Asia’s hardest-working places, a new survey says the city is sorely in need of better work-life balance.

Long workdays in Hong Kong—the average work week is 49 hours—are blamed for everything from depression to the city’s notoriously low libido levels.

What employees really want is more flexible working hours and extra paid leave, finds an annual survey of 1,000 workers by the nonprofit Community Business, which partners with companies to promote good corporate citizenship.
