Panasonic is the latest Japanese company to break with Japan's workaholic culture and offer a 4-day workweek

The electronics conglomerate Panasonic is the latest major Japanese company to announce a four-day workweek to interested employees, Nikkei reported.

"We must support the well-being of our employees," Panasonic CEO Yuki Kusumi told investors at a recent briefing, according to the outlet.

Known for its intense work culture, corporate life in Japan can be so unforgiving that dying from overworking is not unheard of.

In a bid to improve the country's work-life balance, the Japanese government last June recommended that companies allow staff members to opt for a four-day workweek, the German broadcaster DW reported.
