Employees in Sweden get more paid holiday than nearly any other country in the world – a guaranteed minimum of 25 days a year. Add to that around a dozen public holidays. When the Swedes actually are at work, they’re bound to spend an average of 25 per cent of their time in meetings, aiming for consensus. And let's not forget, they’re legally entitled to coffee breaks. So, with all these things considered, when do Swedes actually get any work done?

Guests:Madeleine Lennartsson, HR manager at Nyköping Municipality and an expert on teambuilding, leadership and recruitment. Julian Stubbs, Englishman-turned-Stockholmer, brand strategist and co-counder of Up There Everywhere, a company which takes work flexibility to a whole other level.
