Six-day work weeks won't work anymore for new talent, says report

According to a report, companies with 6-day work weeks have to settle for leftover talent

Executive talent in India is looking for a five-day work week for office roles, instead of a long five-and-a-half or six-day work week, according to a report in the Times of India. According to executive search firms, hiring candidates for companies with prolonged work weeks has become much more difficult. Such companies often have to settle for leftover talent, claim search firm experts.

The report says that six-day work weeks have become a dealbreaker for most candidates, especially in today's hybrid work environments. However, six-day work weeks remain fairly commonplace in industries such as energy, manufacturing and infrastructure,
