Hi,
This is a subject of intense debate. However, with the emphasis on work-life balance, quality of life, and ample tools to judge productivity, a 5-day workweek is what the world is moving towards. A 5-day workweek has the following benefits:
- A more motivated and hopefully committed workforce
- Savings on overheads of running the workplace, where most employees take the 6th day as the weekend and output is minimal
- The 6th day acts as both a carrot and stick for employees to ensure that tasks are not kept for the new week ahead
- Improves the quality of life of the employee and his/her family
- Less sudden absenteeism as employees would not want to waste a day when there is the lure of two consecutive days of holidays ahead
There could be many more benefits on a case-to-case basis, and it would vary depending on the type of business and work environment.

Hi Friends,
It is better for the service-oriented industry but not for a continuous process industry. If you implement it in the manufacturing industry, then it is going to be very expensive; hence, work out the pros & cons based on the type of the industry. If it is a corporate office/service industry, this will be a better option, subject to the commitment/output of the employees increasing.
Thanks and regards,

Hi,
I definitely agree with Mr. Jacob. It is so much better working 5 days than 6 days.
(i) The employees feel less stressed and have ample time for themselves and their families as well. People have so many household tasks to do, starting from banking to shopping and appointments, etc.
(ii) The number of leaves taken by any individual is comparatively less.
(iii) People get to rest and stay healthy.
(iv) The expenses of the organization become less.
(v) The working days become more efficient.
What do you say, Mr. Abu Varghese??? :)
