Another significant update is the adoption of a 37.5-hour workweek, which seeks to promote a better work-life balance. These developments, alongside the year’s long weekends, reinforce Madrid’s commitment to improving workplace sustainability and enhancing the quality of life for workers.
This year stands out not only for its public holidays but also for its focus on modernising labour conditions and supporting employees’ well-being.
