Not in every case, but equally the UK has awful productivity despite long hours, indicating we're not using our workforce well. Disengaged, unmotivated workers are a part of that. More enlightened businesses do care about worker welfare for this reason, but to read this thread the only employer / worker relationship out there is basically Victorian era workhouses.
There has to be a narrative that sells better working conditions as a positive for everyone. It worked in the 20th C which is why we now have holiday rights, etc.
