Two ways in which the at workdohourslonger working daymore efficientlyovertimework forworkingworkplace has changed in the modern era are that employees are required to work longer at workdohourslonger working daymore efficientlyovertimework forworkingworkplace and there is more pressure on them than in the past. In this essay, I examine how competition is the main reason for this and suggest how employers can improve their employees’ at workdohourslonger working daymore efficientlyovertimework forworkingworkplace conditions.

Competition from the job market is one reason why some employees are under more pressure at workdohourslonger working daymore efficientlyovertimework forworkingworkplace. High levels of unemployment mean that it would often be cheaper for an employer to hire someone else to at workdohourslonger working daymore efficientlyovertimework forworkingworkplace the same work. This naturally has a negative psychological effect on employees. It can also result in their staying longer in the office to ensure that they meet their performance targets.

Increased competition caused by globalisation is also significant. Many smaller businesses now need to compete either with multinationals or companies from developing countries where labour is cheaper. The effect of this on employees is that they know they may be made redundant if the business they at workdohourslonger working daymore efficientlyovertimework forworkingworkplace fails. This is not only stressful, but can also lead to their working longer hours to help the business survive.

Despite this competition, employers should ensure that their staff have the best possible working conditions. This means that employees should not be required to work at workdohourslonger working daymore efficientlyovertimework forworkingworkplace unless in an emergency, be given regular breaks and be reassured that their future is safe. If this were to happen, the employees should work at workdohourslonger working daymore efficientlyovertimework forworkingworkplace, something which is in the interest of the employer.

My conclusion would be that competition from the job market and globalisation is the principal cause of stress at work and a at workdohourslonger working daymore efficientlyovertimework forworkingworkplace. Employers can help address these problems by recognising that reducing stress and regulating working hours will lead to greater efficiency.
