5 DAYS A WEEK..

Well Seems a reasonable proposal
Announce temp implemntation.
You can review cost benefit and smployee satisfaction survey after one year and review

Dear
Time demands customer satisfaction,and service industry has to take care.Same way we have to take care of our internal customers(Employees)
What i suggest is you can declare 5 days a week but the arrangement can be keeping the office working and half the members of each department has to remain present.So every one can enjoy two saturdays off in a month.
But make it a point that if any one has to remain present due to work demand same is not adjustable or a matter of right.

Hi Sari,

This is AJ, thanks for your reply, for what I am gonna suggest it requires a lot of homework.

Taking into account that you have employee seperation for Overseas and Indian clients.

Now for Overseas clients there is no point in having saturday as a working day and hence you can leave those guys as it is.

And for Indian clients you can either provide the option to employees working on saturday their choice of day off during the week or additional leaves for the year.

The other option is classifying the employees into two sections and each month rotating them for a mon-fri day off and a sat day off.

I completely agree with you to put a check on attrition rate its better to do a 5 days a week, its better for the morale of the employees too. Also be aware that its a irreversible change and hence you might have to go through a lot of thought before you actually do it.

But it definitely is a very welcome move towards employee satisfaction, Also to control the attrition rate have a anonymous employee survey conduted online and that might help too.

Thanks & Regards,

AJ

i suggest you dont go for 5 days week as your domestic clients are working on saturday,better u can provide them over time for that,another optin is to adopt 2nd and 4th saturday off. :)

hi sari
i feeel that let ur employees get a break on sat and sun because as u work more than 9 hours a day and also it is not a good idea if u want to do like that with out anmy brak

Thanks Poonam. :)
Usha & AJ that sounds fair to satisfy the clients, and the employees, thanks for sharing your ideas :) :)
thanks ranju and shreya for your suggestions. :)

Hey Sari,
I still am very much against the over time concept, from the employers point to view.
You might wanna think about a better bonus for more working hours put in with efficiency.
Also an online log of no of hours put in by each employee, And each month the person who has given in the maximum hours of work can have a vacation or an extra day off.
Never ever think of over time, cause alongwith it comes legal bindings, I am sure you are innovative enough to think about better benefit packages.
Since your target is to lower the attrition rate group activities wont be a bad idea. Let the employees feel they are part of a family and it will be difficult for them to leave the organization but this will work only with BPO & IT sector.
Thanks & Regards,
AJ
