Question

1. Do you believe it is allowable to maintain two different definitions of the workweek in the same organization, and why or why not?

Answer 1

It is allowable in the same organization to maintain two different definitions of the workweek. In any organization, there remain varieties of the task to make it complete as per the needs of business requirements. Taking an example of the BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) sector, in this particular sector, it is necessary to maintain different workweek because multiple processes are followed. Some processes have strong demand from the client’s side and the organization has to keep active participation to serve them. On the other hand, a few processes keep on going those are not having that much demand. This type of process has different definitions of the workweek in the same organization. It is obviously allowable and needs to maintain in the organization for keeping up the stability of the work.

It is not only in the BPO sector, in almost any organization workweek of all individual departments varies a lot as it needs to fulfill several business requirements to maintain organizational goals. Likewise, in any software development firm, the business development manager needs to work more hours than developers. The responsibility of the business development manager is to acquire more clients by excelling in the business. This is the reason the workweek is made different in such departments and to ensure productivity it is a necessary aspect to keep two different definitions of the workweek in the same organization to heightening the business growth.
