Purpose:

Over the time, the graph of extra hours per week by employees is rising with a steep curve. When compared to late 1960s, an average American spends additional time of about 6 hours extra in a 40 hours week per year on the job (Schor, 1992). Similarly even four years back it was 3 hours extra in a 40 hours week (Bond et al.).

Same is the case with ABC organization. Managers are juggling with their work and personal lives. This effect is permeating in the entire organization and employees are finding it hard to keep a balance in their lives.
