Research has shown that spending less time in the office can reduce the use of energy (for example, electricity, gas). Thus some companies close for some days a week. Do this advantage of this development outhweight the disadvantage.

Inspired by the realisation that energy consumption can be checked by reducing the time spent by

employees

in offices, many companies have adopted strategies like reducing the number of days in a month.

However

, some people feel that

such

a plan can have a negative impact on the performance of businesses and the welfare of

employees

.

Firstly

, there would be a substantial reduction in expenses in terms of electricity consumption, water usage and fuel costs.

Moreover

, with the reduced working

hours

and longer leisure time it is likely that the productivity of

employees

would improve, compensating for the

hours

lost.

For example

, the number of days in a week has been reduced from six to five in many government posts in India.

While

it has substantially cut down costs in terms of lighting and running of job machinery, the work completed in a similar duration has not been seriously affected.

Similarly

, the commuting of

employees

and movement of vehicles has been reduced, resulting in substantial fuel savings.

Secondly

, critics believe that having 32

affect output and reduce the earning capacity of

employees

.

This

would mean that losing a considerable number of man-

hours

at the place would affect the performance of companies.

Moreover

, the loss of wages

due to

fewer

hours

can discourage workers. After considering both views, from a broader perspective, the substantial energy

achieved by modern companies should be given greater prominence.

Moreover

, the drawbacks can be minimized by introducing alternative methods like telecommuting, where

employees

do not come to the office, but handle it from home using modern telecommunication systems. In short,

although

there are minor disadvantages to

this

system, shorter

hours

can have greater benefits to individuals and society by saving the depleting resources of the world.
