Health Issues in Outsourcing Industry

Health risk factors are involved with the night shift working community in India, Pakistan and other places. Specifically in Indo-Pak where the time zone difference with USA is less or more to 12 hours. The fact is the time zone difference of Lahore and Silicon Valley in USA is of exact 12 hours. Means when there is 2:00 PM there, its 2:00 AM here. Night shift is a necessity for offshore centers providing live services such as IT support, and call centers.

Doing these regular night shifts, we have seen boys & girls having dark circles on eyes, facing sleeping problems and more. Stress from customers adds to the disturbed routine to bring up health issues.

I myself have been up at nights from last many years, as most of my communication work is in United States. With this experience I have learned to live a different life. It’s a requirement as well as an opportunity. Our Creator has made humans flexible. The fact is that our body is so adoptive that it can adopt any circumstances and situations as provided. A proven fact is that, there are many unique people on earth who can perform various unbelievable acts with their bodies. How do they do that? There is just one answer, practice! They keep on doing it until they are able to do it like nobody else can, so they make records.

All we need to do is get some fixed sleep and do not stay up even in the day and then definitely getting back to work will be a problem. Same for the day workers, do not stay up at nights. Following a fixed routine will help, and you need to put in a little more efforts to do that.

There are risks involved with every field of life, even if you are just driving on a road; you are at risk of an accident. We cannot step back or be afraid of working at nights. Honestly, I really enjoy being up at nights. There are logical reasons for that, firstly you will find roads of Lahore all empty and open to drive easily, rather than in the day getting stuck in traffic JAM. Secondly nights are much more peaceful with fewer or no phone calls, no loud traffic noise and disturbances. My vote is to go for it and be a part of the future business tycoons.

Lastly, I want to say that, life is all not about comforts and safeguarding your own self. That will be a greedy life. If we have got a profession, and we are supporting businesses round the clock, we need to understand the importance of our mission. When we are doing it for the betterment of humans then why not sacrifice our comforts a bit and do the job?
