| Ielts Essay- Work and Holidays |
The busy schedules at work have
made it highly necessary for the people to take time off from work, as doing
this can bring in numerous benefits for physical and mental well being of
employees, but there is a continuous debate over the tenure and period of the
time off different categories of employees should take or be allowed.
Taking holidays as per the
ranks and positions is sometimes considered to be an essential component of
human resources management system. As per HR policies of various companies, the
people working in locations that need intense involvement at work deserve to be
compensated with suitable leisure time offs spans accordingly, since working on
tough and diverse assignments can be taxing, and this also sometimes leads
employees, in question, to socially disconnect from rest of society for the
sake of job. Proper rejuvenation for such personnel can help in enhancing their
productivity. Whereas, the people who perform general duties or are involved in
less taxing work can get appropriate amount of relaxation even with shorter
tenures.
However, such policies often court
deep controversy as they symbolize ambiguity. Such provisions often lead
to discord and uneasy situations at the work place because of disagreements between
the top, middle and lower level managers; and workers at lower rungs, because managers
at different levels of organizational hierarchy find it hard to convince their
juniors over disproportionate allocation of leisure time to different
individuals. Besides this, provisions of taking
and allowing uneven holiday privileges often leads to jealousy among the
coworkers and colleagues as the ones getting lesser amount of leisure time-offs
often start harboring ill feelings for their coworkers.
To sum up, I personally feel
that tenure leisure time should surely be different for different levels of personnel: both face differing levels of scope of obligations and stress, and thus, must be compensated accordingly.
