Hi,
I agree to you as being an HR I firmly believe that 9 am-6 pm is very long time to work in office & if organized well one need not to stay beyond that.It is true that at times we need to be more flexible but that too not very often.Working in ofiice hours efficiently shows the productivity of an employee.

Hi Friends,
For Hr professional there is no fixed time bound in which you have to complete. It depends on the situation were you have to stay for long hours and some time your work will get finished earlier, every thing will be based on the current situation in the organization.

Dear All,
As being a Manager of an company , I believe that , Yes, HR people should work 9 to 6, the reason is that the HR functions are not only related with the salary of employees or the taking care of the attendance but they have to evaluate the performance of each employees of the organization and also taking care of their work being handled properly or not. Infact, HR is the Backbone of the organization, they have to be there with them all the time.
So at the end it is believed that HR should be there 9 to 6...
Thank u

Hi,
i dont think there is an hard an fast rule as to what time HR has to work. It could be flexible as per the requirements of the job after all u wont be training during the day in case u work as a trainer in a call centre where employees are there at night. Plus the demarcations of each job affect the kind of work and time or schedule required for it. So i dont think there has to be a stipulated time when HR has to work.

Hi Sanket,
Working 9 to 6 is good for everyone not only for HR people. If we manage our entire day work properly we can work 9 to 6.
But for HR people its bit dificult to manage specially people who are in recruitment profile. During week days if we call people for an interview they prefer to come either early in the morning or late in the evening so it becomes very dificult for HR people to work within 9 to 6. This can be worked out in fixing the days of the interview so that every day we should not strech beyond 6 pm.

Sanket,
I dont think you can generalize the fact that HR professionals work/can work only from 9 to 6. It depends in which company, industry and how fast the respective business is growing!
I believe you would be in a position to make that comment only if HR is merely considered a support function rather than a Corporate Service (when you reach a strategic level)
If you really want to take things to the next level, you would never find enough hours in the day to really do HR work!

HI everyone,
Eventhough there was a misconception that HR is a cool job with 9 to 6 timing now the trend as changed because of IT, ITES companies. When employees work in the night shift especially in ITES, HR recruiters, with few HR generalist work in the day shift and bunch of HR generalists who are renamed in few ITES, IT companies as EMPLOYEE CARE OFFICERS work in the night shift. NOW HR's work in shift basis in most of the concerns and the recruitment timing starts from 2 p.m to 10 p.m in most of the concerns. Its not the timing which matters it is the growth which we attain in our career matters.

I agree with the style of working 9-6, as i believe that if you really utilize the given 8 hrs to the max with out any interruption except an hour for lunch then definitely we can wind up to home or other social events after 6. But in some peak days there is no excuse.

Email from the boss
(Embedded image moved to file: pic26574.jpg)
Mail sent by Narayan Murthy to all Infosys staff:
It's half past 8 in the office but the lights are still on....
PCs still running, coffee machines still buzzing...
And who's at work? Most of them ??? Take a closer look...
All or most specimens are ??
Something male species of the human race...
Look closer.... again all or most of them are bachelors...
And why are they sitting late? Working hard? No way!!!
Any guesses???
Let's ask one of them...
Here's what he says... "What's there 2 do after going home...Here we get
to surf, AC, phone, food, coffee that is why I am working
late...Importantly no bossssssss!!!!!!!!!!!"
This is the scene in most research centers and software companies and
other off-shore offices.
Bachelors "Time-passing" during late hours in the office just bcoz they
say they've nothing else to do...
Now what r the consequences...
"Working" (for the record only) late hours soon becomes part of the
institute or company culture.
With bosses more than eager to provide support to those "working" late in
the form of taxi vouchers, food vouchers and of course good feedback, (oh,
he's a hard worker... goes home only to change..!!).
They aren't helping things too....
To hell with bosses who don't understand the difference between "sitting"
late and "working" late!!!
Very soon, the boss start expecting all employees to put in extra working
hours.
So, My dear Bachelors let me tell you, life changes when u get married and
start having a family... office is no longer a priority, family is... and
That's when the problem starts... b'coz u start having commitments at home
too..
For your boss, the earlier "hardworking" guy suddenly seems to become a
"early leaver" even if u leave an hour after regular time... after doing
the same amount of work.
People leaving on time after doing their tasks for the day are labelled as
work-shirkers...
Girls who thankfully always (its changing nowadays... though) leave on
time are labelled as "not up to it". All the while, the bachelors pat
their own backs and carry on "working" not realizing that they r spoiling
the work culture at their own place and never realize that they would have
to regret at one point of time.
So what's the moral of the story??
* Very clear, LEAVE ON TIME!!!

Dear All,
Well, the question here is whether HR should work from 9-6 only or not...Before answering this, you may have to ask yourself what all are HR jobs?? and at the first place...if HR is a job...I believe, HR cannot be called a job...its a passion...Its not like any other activity...HR is the strongest pillar, apart from the management which is responsible for the growth and success of any organization. Incase people in HR start looking at their function as yet another department, then the organization might survive but will never become a success.
Any HR with passion will make a good entrepreneur as he/she understands the employee needs. He/she knows how one can motivate the employee...So, to make your organization a success...you need to have passion...AND PASSION DOESN'T COME WHEN YOU LOOK AT YOUR JOB AS A 0900-1800 JOB....
HR is a 24*7 Job...you have to live it to excel it....(This is purely my view-point)
