'The Work Is Killing Us Slowly, But Who Cares'
Professor Fiffer Stanford is a member of the Graduate School of Business, and he is the author or co-author of fifteen books. They have written books on topics such as administrative theory and human resources. They are considered very important intellectuals on issues related to management issues.
His latest book is 'Dining for Pay Check' - namely to die for checks. In this book published last year, the writer has argued that many aspects of modern life, such as not maintaining the balance of time between long hours, home and family, and destroy physical and emotional health of economic non-employee employees. have been.
'Non-sympathetic'
He referred to the twenty-five-year-old Japanese person, Kenji Hamada, who was killed due to a heart attack in Tokyo. Humada used to work for the last hour in the week and he had to travel for almost two hours to reach his work. When he had a heart attack, he was working forty days.
This case is one of the numerous examples Professor Fiffer has given in the book and has declared it as a non-sympathized labor system. And this is not just in Japan.
According to Professor's report, only 25 percent of Americans believe that mental stress has caused them to suffer, while seven percent believe that they had to enter the hospital due to work.
Fifth estimated that every year, one million and twenty thousand Americans have a mental pressure in the death. They believe that due to mental stress, US companies are hurt $ 3 billion.
Talking to Professor Ferder's BBC:-
In the book you have declared the labor system as poisonous. What proof do you have to have a modern working life affecting the lives of employees?
There is evidence of modern lifestyle health. Long term working hours, job closure, lack of health facilities, and continuous mental stress, in addition to severe economic disadvantages, is causing disorders and diseases between work and family. .
The work has become non-merciful. On one hand, corporate companies are facing the responsibilities, while on the other hand, 'Gang Economy' has created non-employee protection.
Who is responsible?
Directors of companies in the 1980s and sixties said that it is very important to take care of the interests of employees, customers and shareholders. But now all focus is focused on shareholders' interests.
For example, a habit is found common in instant banks that employees leave home for work, do not work, and return home at work. Due to this system, many employees become addicted to drugs because they use cocaine and other drugs to keep awake.
Are some areas affected by other fields?
The working hours of factory employees, pilots and truck drivers are limited. But there is no limit of how many hours it will work in many fields.
You have said in the book that work is the fifth reason for death?
Maybe more. Employers are responsible for it. And the governments are responsible for doing nothing in this regard.
Can scientists help?
He has a great role. We need to do something to stop what's going on. But we will not be able to do anything at the individual level.
If you want to solve the problem in the system, then its solution will only be done by system intervention that can be done by some sort of law.
What do you say when you talk to the companies of the companies?
No question on data. But this is a very sensitive issue, people see the problem but do not want to do anything, because the costs are too high due to bad health. Work conditions cause severe illnesses such as diabetes and heart diseases.
But will not companies say that change in labor system will reduce their profit?
This is not correct. We know that the employee has a tendency to leave work. Mental and physically sick employees are less productive.
The research conducted in the United States and Britain shows that due to work, 50 percent of the absenteeers have mental stress due to work.
According to the Amrican Institute of Study estimates, mental pressure is causing a loss of $ 3 billion every year. So it means it's very expensive to get sick of employees. Those employees who are sick and come to work will also have their capabilities, which will cause a lot of business to business.
How can employees change the working conditions?
First of all, the employees themselves are responsible for taking care of their health. If you work in a place where they do not allow you to set time balance for your work and family, then you should go away. Some people respond that they can not work. But I say that if you are in a room that is full of smoke, you will try to go away from there because it will have very hazardous effects for your health.
People should also ask for rules that are necessary for their protection and should take care of themselves because they have to pay their attention to society.
