Relax, you can thrive without hustling too
Live MintA recent meme about an out-of-office status went viral on social media. “It’s high time that we called out the negative aspects of hustling,” says Nikhil Kamath, co-founder of Zerodha and True Beacon, an asset management firm. “We are seeing an emerging trend where organizations are now not just talking about work-life balance but also asking employees to put it into practice,” says Vinod V.K., head of health and benefits, Willis Towers Watson. “We also provide them with the knowledge and resources to know what to do about in such cases,” says Pooja Bhagat, vice president, APAC & EMEA, human capital, Optum Global Solutions. “As per a study conducted in December 2020, 84% of working professionals wanted an empathetic team and manager as one of the top requirements for them at work,” says Richa Singh, co-founder and CEO, YourDOST.
