HR Speaks

Bhawna: Twinkle after your discussion with Deepanshi last time, we got many closures. Social Media Recruitment is undoubtedly a boon. But recently I am hearing more about Moonlighting! Any Idea?

Twinkle: Absolutely! Moonlighting refers to employees taking on additional jobs outside of their primary employment. It can have some benefits, but it also brings some challenges. Why not we break it down?

Bhawna: Surely! What I feel is that more and more employees started taking up additional jobs after the pandemic.

Twinkle: Absolutely! The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly changed the way people view work and income. With the economic uncertainties and job losses experienced during the crisis, it's not surprising that moonlighting has become more prevalent. But as HR professionals, we need to examine both the positive and negative impacts this trend might bring. 

Bhawna: Exactly! One positive impact I've observed is the resilience it provides to employees. For instance, It allowed individuals to adapt and generate income in challenging times.

Twinkle: That's a great point. Moonlighting can also foster a sense of empowerment. Consider the case of someone who was furloughed from their full-time job but used that time to explore their passion project or start a small business on the side.

Bhawna: Absolutely, However, we must also be aware of the potential negative impacts. For example, excessive moonlighting can lead to burnout, especially when employees are working long hours in their primary job and then taking on additional commitments.

Twinkle: I completely agree. Another negative impact we should address is the potential strain it may place on employee loyalty. When someone is dedicating significant time and energy to a secondary job, it could impact their commitment and focus on their primary employment. 

Bhawna: Definitely. We need to strike a balance between supporting employees' entrepreneurial endeavors and ensuring they remain fully engaged in their primary roles. 

Twinkle: Absolutely. As HR professionals, it's our responsibility to navigate this emerging trend and create policies that support employees while also safeguarding the best interests of the organization. 

Bhawna: Well said. Let's work together to develop strategies that address the positive and negative impacts of moonlighting in a post-pandemic world. By doing so, we can empower employees while maintaining a productive and supportive work environment.

Twinkle: Enough of this, let me provide our readers with some new hot job opportunities in space!
