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

Many company owners want their employees within their reach, not only on working days but

also

during their time away from

work

.

Firstly

,

this

essay will discuss the main advantage of having no

contact

with

work

during a vacation and

secondly

the drawbacks of how certain demanding jobs require 24-hour

contact

. On the one hand, the main advantage of not contacting

work

while away, is that it allows the person to relax and recharge their batteries. Recently, most jobs are very stressful and people need a break, wanting to spend their time with their family and friends.

This

can help them to relax and release the tension of a demanding job so that they can build their energy for when they return.

For example

, research conducted by UP Manila in the Philippines indicates that people who spend holidays with their families and have no

contact

with

work

are more productive when they return, which has a positive effect on the company productivity.

On the other hand

, the primary drawback of being contacted by

work

when on vacation can mean dropping all plans for whatever emergency has occurred. Some professions

are deemed to be very demanding, in that they need to be able to

contact

their employees at all times. Often medical professionals need to be on call 24 hours a day in order to save people’s lives, regardless of any holiday time. If one delves into statistics, The NHS in the UK reported that during December 2017 over the Christmas period, they saw a 20% increase in the number of doctors who worked on Christmas Day. In conclusion,

although

both employees and the companies they

work

for can both benefit from extra

work

being completed whilst a worker is on a holiday, it can

also

have a negative effect.

This

can add stress and pressure on the employees.
