Lending her voice and presence to the crowd was Prime Minister Katrin Jakobsdottir who also joined the demonstrations. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The protest brought the country\u2019s economy to a standstill sparking nationwide concern. <\/strong>As thousands flocked to the country\u2019s capital during the demonstration, establishments, such as the 80% female-staffed National University Hospital, came to a near stop. And with a population of approximately 400k it can be surmised that the protest triggered some alarm. Sigridur Margret Oddsdottir, the first woman to run the SA Confederation of Icelandic Enterprise, raised concerns about stopping the economy for a full day. Acknowledging the impact it has on the economy, she even suggested notifying supervisors to avoid the losses that can emerge from rallies of this magnitude.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"height:2px;border-width:0;color:gray;background-color:gray\">\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"> <strong>Are<\/strong><strong>wellbeing days the answer to employee happiness? <\/strong>With <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apa.org\/pubs\/reports\/work-in-america\/2023-workplace-health-well-being\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">77% of US workers<\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apa.org\/pubs\/reports\/work-in-america\/2023-workplace-health-well-being\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">facing work-related stress last month and 57% experiencing workplace burnout<\/a> it appears that wellbeing days, given to employees to spend on their mental health and, well, well-being, may be a welcome solution, according to the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/37ea5f40-b376-462a-9fc6-e1f98eaae82e\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Financial Times<\/a>.
