No to night shift

Organizations that make their employees work in night shifts should pause and think for a while.

Are they lacking in their role of fulfilling Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activity here?

You must be wondering as to what #CSR activity has to do with night shifts? Where is the link? Is that what you are thinking? Yes, I think there is a link.

All learning organizations should focus on three things, viz. work, profit, and health. It is well-known fact as to how night shifts affect the health of a person. It is not only physical health but even mental health gets adversely affected by working in night shifts.

Why should we allow our children to suffer; why should we force them to work at a time when they should be on bed? How many people from the first world work in night shits? People who work in night shifts there are only those who work for essential services, and of those, you will see that most of them are immigrants working for the whites. 

If we let our children suffer because we cannot say ‘no’ to the white clients of the first world, then what kind of attitude are we showing for our own people? It cannot be expected from Foreign MNCs because they are least concerned about the health of our nations, had it been so they wouldn’t have used our land as their dumping grounds, but it can certainly expect that from our own MNCs!

I have seen employees of many good organizations working on the streets spreading awareness to people on the importance of wearing helmets, abiding by traffic rules, how smoking is injurious to health, and so on. It is heart-warming to see their genuine concern for the health of their nation. By that same logic, shouldn't such organizations show the same concern here as well?

If we are making significant contributions to the society where we perform, in terms of CSR activities, then the best place to perform, as they say, ‘charity begins at home’, will have to be in and from the organization itself; we can do so by taking care of the health of our employees, our children, the future of our nation, just by saying ‘no’ to #night-shift.

Please support the #health of the workforce.

#health is wealth

By saying yes to night-shift, are Indian MNCs lacking in CSR activity?
