8. Causes of Employee
Demotivation specific to
BPO

Odd Working Hrs:
Most of the BPOs in India support overseas
operations and majority of professionals have night
shifts. In majority of cases Indian BPO jobs mostly
have odd hours.

Family Life:
This is somewhat associated with odd working
hours. Evenings are the best time to spend quality
time with your spouse and children and those are
actually your working hours. Your life as a BPO
employee can be very lonely and frustrating at
times.

Lack of Appreciation: An employee feels
unappreciated for his efforts.

9. 
Too much Work :
An employee feels overburdened with a
disproportionate chunk of work which renders him
unable to perform his duties well and punctually.

Health Issues :
Sleep disorders, heart disease, eyesight problems
and depression are just a few issues surrounding
the BPO jobs. People also tend to gain weight as
most of the time they are sitting in their small
cubicle.

AGE Factor :
Since BPO jobs are quite stressful, especially after
a few months working in this industry many
individuals quit and change their profession, often
to a lower paying job. If you able to make your
way up to the managerial level or the higher
corporate ladder, life is much better, otherwise the
daily monotonous work starts to really frustrate

10. 
Favoritism : These refer to unfair practices that
favor one worker over another.

Mistrust : This deals with an employee resorting
to micromanaging everything, displaying mistrust
in a coworker’s capabilities.

Miscommunication : Free flow of information is
withheld or information is provided only on a
“need-to-know” basis. This can be demotivating as
it proves that the boss or organization does not
fully trust its employees to share all available
information on a project.

Night Shifts : BPO jobs are not recognized to be
career oriented
