Hi,

It's very interesting whether HR should work only from 9 to 6. It depends from company to company. Whether you complete the work from 9 to 6 is good, but I don't think the day is enough for most of us, and we need to spend one or two more hours in the office. We used to get clients after 5 pm and needed to stay in the office for 8 at times.

Thanks,

I don't agree that HR only works between 9-6 only. I'm working in a manufacturing company where I have to work mostly late evenings. At the time of appraisals, we have to sit until late night as well. In general, we work round the clock, with most of the time spent on troubleshooting. Since it's a manufacturing company, we have to handle staff as well as workers, and during those times, we face lots of problems. We often get many trivial issues from them, and we have to resolve them.

Hi everybody,

I fully agree with the working hours between 9-6. HR professionals should work until 6 pm. If one works in an organized manner, tasks should be completed by the stipulated time. If we are unable to finish before 6 pm, then there may be a time management issue.

As far as HR is concerned, it is not a question of the hours that are spent in a day for work. One should assess the value of the work. Some work will be very small but of greater value. So, the worth of the work depends on how valuable a task is performed in a day and not the hours.

HR is no better than any other division of the company. If they have work, they have to finish the work. Time is not a constraint. It's all based on HR profile. Some HR's work limit will be less, and for some, it will be vast, and again, based on how organized and how fast one is.

hi, it all depend on the work load u have & what kind of team u have to share the load. It is not necessarily that Hr people has to work late hrs. physicaly, I agree with Ravi Murgan’s Opinion.

Hi friends,

Well, I don't think that any person should do their work in a limited time period. It must depend on the attainment of goals. The evaluation must be done based on the work done by the employees, not on the time. We need smart workers, not hard workers.

Yeah, I guess if the question is "Should," then definitely no because you have to balance family and professions. But the real thing is, can an HR person work from 9 to 6? Then I would say, how I wish, because mainly if you are into recruitment, candidates insist that you call them late in the evenings or on weekends. Similarly, interviews have to be arranged late in the evenings or weekends. Then there are reports - my god, don't they eat up a lot of your time, which you are always short on. So ideally, yes, we should work from 9 to 6, but it seldom happens.
