Working hours and private time for India Inc is getting blurred with 74% of respondents saying their employers expect them to be available outside regular office hours, says a survey.
According to leading human resources consultancy Randstad Workmonitor Survey, 78% of the employees said they are also expected to be available by phone and email during holidays as well, while 69% said they sometimes deal with private matters during working hours.
"Today, the way India Inc works have undergone a paradigm shift. Going to work is all about getting work done regardless of where one is and thus an ideal workplace is one that eliminates geographical and technological barriers to create a dynamic ecosystem where work travels to people; not the other way round," Randstad India MD & CEO Moorthy K Uppaluri said.
