996 Work Culture: Balancing Competitive Edge and Employee Well-being
ORBITINDONESIA.COM – As the 996 work culture gains traction in Silicon Valley, questions about its sustainability and impact on employee well-being arise.
The 996 work model, demanding 72-hour workweeks, is being adopted by startups in the US, raising concerns about employee exhaustion.
Despite promises of increased productivity, studies show overworked employees face burnout, affecting quality and consistency. This has led to lawsuits and dissatisfaction among workers.
While additional pay and benefits might lure some employees, the long-term viability of the 996 model remains questionable without proper regulation and support from HR.
To truly thrive, businesses must strike a balance between competitiveness and employee wellness, ensuring sustainable growth and satisfaction.
