In the middle of the ongoing debate on ideal working hours, CapGemini India Ashwin Yardi advocated 47.5-hour working week on Tuesday and emphasized the need to respect the employee's leave by avoiding weekend e-mails.
Yardi on the Nasscom Technology and Leadership Forum (NTLF) explained his approach to working hours and said: “Forty seven and a half hours. We have about nine hours a day and five days a week. ”
In the question of balance between work and private life, he made it clear that the sending of e-mails is staying on weekends unless the matter is resolved immediately. “My main principle in the last four years has been – do not send e -mail at the weekend, even if it is an escalation if you don't know you can solve it on the weekend,” he said.
While he acknowledged that he was working on weekends, Yardi noted that there was no value of e -Maily in stress on employees that could not be discussed immediately. “There is no point in giving” sorrow “employees who know well that the work cannot be done at the weekend,” he added.
His remarks come at a time when industry veterans, such as Infosys NR NR NR NR Murtha, called on the 70 -hour working week and chairman Larsen & Toubro Sn Subrahmanyan proposed 90 hours of working week.
At the same event, chairman of Nasscom Sindu Gangadharan, who also leads SAP India, stressed that the results should depend more on the number of hours worked. The CEO of Marico Saugata Gupta repeated this sentiment, although he admitted that e -mail sent up to 23 hours
Yardi also emphasized the importance of adapting to the expectations of younger employees. In order to support the growth and involvement of his career, CapGemini implemented quarterly promotional cycles, six -week surveys of employees and structured career planning.
