Recently, the argument has been raised that many nations who achieved financially are due to the additional hours worked by the employees helps in increase the bonus. However, I disagree to this trend because it affects the social life of individuals such as health and results in less productive.
In a day majority of time has been spent by the individuals in the workplace compare to their house. In order to overcome the redundancy due to over-population, the profession extend their work to complete the task in shorter days; as a result, it impacts both physical and mental health of worker. In addition to that, work extend after office hours will reduce the concentration level due to lack of social interactions, so there is high chance of facing error in project. To illustrate, in India most of labours handling machinery had met with an accident especially during the job exceed over late night primarily due to tiredness and loss of concentration.
In contrast, some argues that expansion of working hours supports to increase a production; therefore, the organization leads to grow economically. This is mainly due to gaining experience over knowledge of commoner by improve their skills results in Pay Increment and Financial rewards. Yet, the productivity can be increased without spending over time by organizing the job effectively. Moreover, the non-productive hours in the company can be utilize for employee interpersonal skill development causes them to be more focus and effective. For example, well established companies like TQM Design in Australia focus four days for productive work and one day for social interaction and personal development classes which reduce the stress level and improves the employee efficiency.
In conclusion, although continuing the work after office hours soar the economy of nation. I strongly agree, it causes an imbalance in work and personal which affects the health badly. In light of the above factor, this issue can be addressed by improvising the social life which support to relieve from stress and lead to focus.
