What do you think of Wave Group's overtime slogan: From individuals who dream of realizing their values to enterprises that wish to develop and grow, hard work and the spirit of struggle are indispensable. However, we can't "glorify overtime" by advocating struggle. Most people in the workplace want to get off work on time: either to spend time with their families, or to work out and have fun, or to develop hobbies and interests to relieve the fatigue of a long day's work.
Most people would understand if they had to work overtime to finish a job under special circumstances. But Wave Group tried to hang slogans openly in the office area, the overtime slogans as creativity to sunshine, overtime as a normal state to publicize, is the epitome of a deformed overtime culture, but also to the laws and regulations of the indifference.
Overtime is not necessarily really good, but breaking the law is definitely bad. As a long-established large-scale enterprise, it should take the lead in complying with the law and become a role model in the industry. The company's commitment to the cause of the problem is not to instill a culture of overtime work. If the work is indeed a temporary need, overtime is also a kind of struggle and dedication. The majority of workers can resist.
Often it is not the overtime itself, but the deformed "ineffective overtime" "passive overtime". For example, some leaders do not like the staff than their own go earlier, feel that overtime can create greater value for the enterprise, forced to let the staff accompanied, that this kind of overtime is a struggle, but also whether to work overtime as a performance appraisal standards.
Caused the "formalism overtime" become a trend: some employees have been in the work time to complete the job, no need to work overtime, but can not help but return home. Although there is no working condition, can only "pretend" to perform. In reality, some companies are very much in favor of the overtime culture.
In order to reduce labor costs, disguised as encouraging employees to work overtime to share the workload. Over and over again, those who refuse to work overtime not only become the anomaly, but also face the risk of a drop in income, or even a disguised layoff. Some employees can only sacrifice their rest time against their will to comply with the corporate culture, and cash in on the extra long working hours for monetary compensation.
A modern enterprise governance model, not only to have the modernization of the level of technology, but also to have a "people-oriented" system design, pay attention to the emotional management of employees. The monstrous overtime culture is seriously damaging to the physical and mental health of employees, and is a misinterpretation and deviation from the spirit of struggle. A company has to stay competitive in the market.
Relying on employees to work overtime to maintain is not far. Encourage hard work, but also to learn to work smart. Instead of "pressing" the staff to spend on the workstation, it is better to rationalize internal processes and improve operational efficiency. Extending working hours is a struggle, improving efficiency is even more of a struggle.
