Some employers want to be able to contact their staff at all times, even on holidays. Does this development have more advantages than disadvantages ?

In today's competitive world, some employers want their employees to remain in constant contact with them, even during leisure time. While

this

trend may have some positives, it does bear a few negatives.

To begin

with, it is sometimes essential to be able to contact an employee, especially during difficult times at

work

,

such

as emergencies.

For example

, medical centres need to be able to reach their staff in case of patient emergencies;

this

urgent call may help save many endangered lives.

Additionally

, some situations require continuous communication;

for instance

, times of troubleshooting, in which a phone call or email may successfully deal with the problem and win a deal for the company. Despite the benefits mentioned above, regular contacting does not always benefit employers.

Firstly

, no staff likes to be contacted by their superiors when they are at home or a holiday.

This

interruption of relaxing time may invoke a feeling of resentment towards the employer. To illustrate, some individuals are forced to take their

work

round the clock, and sometimes they take their

work

home, which leads to a situation of overwork load.

As a result

, their mental stability is deteriorating without rest, which affects the quality of

work

they are doing.

Moreover

, employees may feel miserable at their workplace, and they might start seeking other job opportunities;

this

is an enormous loss for a business.

Besides

, no organisation profits from a troubled workplace because it may affect the growth and success of the company. In conclusion,

although

being able to reach subordinates during holidays may be a necessity in some situations, it may have a negative impact on employees' comfort and mental health.

Hence

, it should be reserved for emergencies only.
