NEED INPUTS ON SAT OFF PROPOSAL PROPOSAL

katyana anand
Hi, friends,

pl, find below the sat off proposal. i need your valuable suggestions on that.

FIVE (5) DAY WEEK

Rationale

Image, Branding & Perception:

Creating a positive, well-perceived corporate image is a basic component of every business, and in essence, lays a foundation on which companies can build their future. Creating a certain perception about the business, its products and services in the minds of the targeted customers, and by doing so, help to establish the position in the local, regional, national or global market economy

Hiring:

In order for the company to attract the best talent in a short period of time across different departments and also based on feedback from various HR quarters, one of the major dissuading factors which makes COMPANY a not so attractive proposition, is the fact that we follow a 6 day week whereas the industry norm is generally a 5 day week.

Based on the above we propose the following option:

Option: Work from 0900 am to 1830 pm Monday to Friday follow rigid lunch

break 1300-1330. All Saturdays are off. The extra 4-5 hours (view 30 min gained by

coming in early and lunch nowadays is flexible with the average time off by

an employee during lunch being around 45 minutes on an average) gained during

the week can be equated to the productive time spent now on Sat (0930-1330).

COST ANALYSIS: Needs to calculate

We are sharing with you the feedback which has come in from the employees

Total Strength of COMAPANY SAT WORKING(2nd , 4th and 5th ) SAT OFF Response Remarks

87 NIL 87 Taken feedback from employees and reached at consensus that all sat SHOULD be off.

We are also enclosing a list of companies primarily from the Product services who have a five day week and a six day week.

5 day week 5 ½ day week Earlier 6 Day and changed to 5 days

Infosys Sasken HP

Wipro Technologies Paradigm solutions - Mys Dell

IBM IT Solutions

Oracle Kals Information System

Cisco Bigtech Pvt. Ltd.

Phoenix Global Solutions

Pros

1. A general IT industry practice

2. Attract prospective employees.

3. Improve efficiency and productivity of the employees.

4. As per statutory norm companies need to follow a 48 working hours per week.

Cons

Business Impact due to a five day week.

Psychological effect of the employees to come in on a weekend

Going forward cartain business units will operate

I hope i will get immediate response from all seniors

Hi,
Very good initiative taken.. and i think in now days this is the best way to motivate employees in IT companies.. And definitely it would affect attrition rate also in a positive way...
Very well drafted...
You have covered almost most of the aspect which may arise during the course of approval..
Yes, the loss of work-hour may be compensated with the high motivation of their employees... and increasing the working hours of employees by half an hour only..
Moreover coming on Saturday for half day only lead to suffering of employees.. because they may plan for extra personal activities on that very day.. and it will lead to high commitment level of employees towards the company...
Last but not least good work done... :D

5 Day week:
Focus on:
:on priority basis:
FIRST MOST, happy employee, gives opportunity to employee to work hard all 5 days and enjoy saturday sunday, two days gives option for employees for planning short trips, picnics,which is not possible in case of 6 day week.
SECOND ,focus on cost SAVINGs, you can bank on this point to impress the company:
estimate approximate savings on transportation, electricity, pantry.
and make it sure that your proposal gets accepted. Prepare a draft and post here...
