Mr. Narayan Murthy, CEO of an Indian IT company and influential business leader, delivered a speech to employees encouraging them to maintain a work-life balance. He acknowledged that some people work extremely long hours either due to work emergencies or addiction to the workplace. However, long work hours over the long term are harmful both to the individual and the organization, as they can lead to fatigue-induced errors and irritability among coworkers. As managers, they can help by setting a good example of reasonable hours, encouraging employees to pursue outside interests, and reminding them that no one is indispensable to the company.
