Mandating employees to work from the office every day while also attending evening meetings has drastically cut down the time available for personal and family life. The extended hours spent commuting and in the office have taken a toll on employee well-being. Many organizations today prioritize flexibility and focus on employee health, but the current policies at Amgen India do not reflect these values. This approach has effectively turned into a two-shift work model—one during office hours and another for evening commitments—leading to adverse effects on employee health and, over time, their productivity.
Even though employees have voiced their concerns, the organization has tightened its stance on daily office attendance. This stricter enforcement has been implemented verbally without any formal policy communicated through email. Additionally, recruiters fail to disclose this practice during the hiring process, leaving potential employees unaware of the situation.
