Four-day work week

The recent move to introduce 4 day work week under the Labor codes of India is welcome. The initiative by the government will give the employers the flexibility to enhance the work schedule to 4 days a week and thereby results in boosting employee morale. Employees on the other hand will stand to benefit through this move as it gives them ample time to relax and spend quality time with the family members.

There is now an urgent need to review such employee-friendly policies at workplaces which will foster a good and positive relationship between the employers and the employees. The employers will get an opportunity to gain from employee’s availability along with the rise in productivity on a positive note. The employees’ morale will certainly get a boost as the 4 day work week will enable them to contribute proactively while staying connected to the family with the quality time spent on the weekends.
