Corporate employees sleep less than 6 hours in a day

The main reason why people work for more hours is for money. The companies pay more incentives it they work overtime. So the employees should work only for 8 hrs a day and the company should also not allow any employee to work more than 8 hrs.This will bring a solution to this problem.

:) 

One target need to be met, but at the same time while measuring the employ and department productivity, 8 hours office time must need to evaluated.

The best employee is the one who think smartly, plan smartly and then executive smartly with the given office timing. 

One activity is not important, productivity is important and if we shall measure the productivity w.r.t. 8 hours office time, then its the actual smartness.

I donot agree with your viewpoint of overtime payment as it is not applicable to management employees.I feel the culture of the company is responsible for such a thing.If the department head sits in office late night,then it is expected that everyone has to sit late.So if this attitude changes,things would improve a lot.

Sensor about health and capability first lies with employees; if they can handle extra workload only then they should accept  certain job roles; else this is  betrayal with self and with company.....

I guess the best medicine for stress or any tensions is meditation. If you do a little bit of Yoga or Gym it would sufficient to work more than 12 hours a day. :)

But off course working more than 8 hours is not preferable. Every person should make a strict schedule on his calendar and mind that he has to work only 8 hours and work 8 hours only office work not chatting or mailing or browsing or personal work. Then every work can be finished on time and no extra effort or hours required.

I guess most of us including me, start the work after lunch and that will off course go till 10. So if we start the work in the morning at 8 or 9, you can off course finish it by 5 or 6. Just give it a try. Let me know if did not work for you. :) 

First of all Employee Must Take Care Of His Health.When the Organisation Pays Him More He takes the Responsibility to complete his works on time .

HAHAHAH ANS ??????????????

There seems to be bit of ambiguity. Corporate employees by and large are grouped under Indirect employees and not eligible for overtime.  Most of the corporate employees who would be victims of health problems are in the upper strata and susceptible to diseases as mentioned  by Mr. Garg. 

It is inevitable that these sect of employees are prone to destroy their health.  One reason which strongly can be attributed to the company's policy, to keep amending their annual plans  from time to time without adhering to the long range forecasting plans.  This is the main hurdle.  Added to this problem are other problems encountered in  areas like manpower attrition, more work in progress, procrastination, decrease in turns of inventory, adhering to traditional or conservative norms which does not significantly speak of Change Management or implementation of Lean with 6 sigma. 

Comparing with corporate employees responsible for similar work load abroad, we are at an disadvantage because although we are globalizing our industries and stepping into World class management catagory.  But we still hold traditional views which are transferred from our predecessors about management style, administration and implementation of policies which are not in line or gets amalgamated with the various activities down under, causing hurdles of serious nature.  Hence overtime becomes necessary. These employees abroad are more organised, with systems in place, procedures well defined, tracking results with optimum accuracy and very effective communication across the entire organisation.  So the fortunate employee is not only fortunate to streamline and work in harmony with other team members, but also has the benefit of going on a vacation which is mandatory and enforced.  This keeps his health in good shape and he enjoys working for the organisation.

If it is so ... both employee and the Co is doing wrong. The Co lures the staff for extra payments, promotion, bonus etc. The staff goes ahead to fulfill their amibitions and thus a nexus of "bad norms" are created.

As all of us know that there is a 'minimum' requirement of sleep for any human being. Jobs performed breaking this requirement may not be flawless. Industry body like NASCOM, FICCI, Asochem may come forward to make some uniform rule binding upon all.

People those handle field assignments they usually travel a lot  & most of the time they travel to destination in nights & finishes assignments during te day time again night goes in travel.

This is real cause & concern where you don't have even time to relax, But companies don't understand,

regular work time and overtime work, it should be  enough gap b/w them.

unlike past companies are looking at nos not the hrs going into it. it is only the smart intelligent planning and execution of it will allow us to RIP for that day.
