Return to Double Work Sessions: A Boost to the Economy and Social Life
It would be unfair not to recognize the benefits of the double work session, both socially and economically. Without questioning the merits of the single summer session, the return to the double session comes at the right time to boost the pace of work.
A Positive Impact on the Population
The resumption of the double work session, after two months of a single summer session, has had a beneficial impact on the population, particularly in administrative matters, with all the time available and required during the day. This transition, which took place at the beginning of September, marked the end of the summer period and the beginning of a new work cycle, with significant repercussions on the daily life of citizens, the economy, and public administration.
A Change of Pace
The return to the double session offers a considerable change of pace. After two months of intensive work, often in daylight only, the switch to the double session is a transition period for Tunisian officials. It is a return to a more "normal" pace, but with major challenges.
A Tradition in Tunisia
The double session is a tradition in Tunisia and is enshrined in law. The single-session work regime is an exception, put in place for reasons of comfort and convenience. The return to the double session is a necessity for the proper functioning of public services and for the development of the economy.
Regaining Productivity
The return to the double session has a positive impact on the economy. The working day is longer, which allows for increased productivity of businesses. Companies can better organize themselves, with more flexible working hours, and teams that can take turns. The return to the double session is also an asset for trade. Stores can open later, allowing customers to shop after work. This is a plus for tourists, who can enjoy the nightlife, and for Tunisians, who can enjoy the evening to do activities.
Citizen Satisfaction
In addition, the satisfaction of citizens, finally freed and relieved to be able to manage their time as they see fit, without racing against the clock. This satisfaction, however, does not translate to the level of transportation, with complaints about the frequency of services in certain areas, while others are missing. That being said, with the entry into service of buses imported from China, the transportation problem can be solved gradually, and the quality can improve.
Gain in Efficiency
The administrative fluidity generated by the double session has created a gain in efficiency. The return to the double session is an asset for public administration. Public services can better organize themselves, with more flexible working hours. Officials can better take turns, with schedules that allow them to balance their professional and private lives.
Challenges Ahead
Despite the advantages, the return to the double session presents challenges. The main challenge is adaptation. Officials and businesses must adapt to new schedules, which can take time. The return to the double session is also a challenge for traffic flow. Peak hours are more important, which can create congestion.
A Annual Event in Tunisia
The return to the double session is an annual event in Tunisia. It is a return to a more "normal" pace, but with major challenges. This return remains an asset for the economy, public administration, and the daily life of Tunisians. Whatever the energy bill generated by these hot times and whatever the pace of work of active people, from moderate to high.
