In the midst of a debate in progress on the ideal working hours, the chief executive of Capgemini India, Ashwin Yardri, recommended Tuesday a week of work of 47.5 hours and underlined the need to respect the free time of the free time Employees by avoiding weekend emails.
Speaking at the Nasscom Technology and Leadership Forum (NTLF), Yerdi explained his approach to working hours, declaring: “Forty-seven hours and a half. We have about nine hours a day and five days a week. »»
On the question of the balance between professional and private life, he clearly indicated that he refrains from sending emails on weekends, unless the question can be resolved immediately. “My principal principle of the last four years is-do not send an email for a weekend, even if it is an escalation, unless you know that you can solve it a weekend “He said.
While recognizing that he sometimes works on weekends, Yerdi noted that there was no value to hear the employees with emails who cannot be acted immediately. “There is no point in simply giving” sorrow “to an employee knowing that work cannot be done for a weekend,” he added.
His remarks come at a time when industry veterans like the co-founder of the NR Narayana Mildy infosys called for a week of work of 70 hours, and the president of Larsen & Toubro, SN Subrahmanyan, suggested a 90 -hour work week.
Speaking at the same event, the president of Nasscom, Sindhu Gangadharan, who also leads SAP India, stressed that the results should have more importance than the number of hours worked. Marico CEO, Saugata Gupta, echoed this feeling, although he admitted to having sent emails as late as 11 p.m.
Yerdi also stressed the importance of adapting to the expectations of young employees. To support growth and career commitment, Capgemini has implemented quarterly promotion cycles, six -week employee surveys and structured career path planning.
