Mixed Reactions As Working Hours Change in Rwanda NewTimesRwanda: Rwanda
The Office of the Prime Minister, on November 11, last year, issued a communiqué of cabinet resolutions, which, among other things, stated that theThe changes that took effect on January 4, are designed to promote quality education as well as improve both workplace productivity and family wellbeing.
"For essential works, there needs to be a dialogue between employers and employees for flexibility in working hours while maintaining the necessary productivity. This harnesses the spirit of holding staff as partners rather than tools," he notes. However, for businesspeople such as Emmanuel Tuyishime, Founder of Temaco Builders, the new directive presents a business opportunity where employees can use the adjusted morning hour to stop by and place their orders before heading to offices."The implementation depends on the type of business one is into. To shift to these new working hours, it would require us to assess the implication and adjust accordingly but for the moment, it is hard for us to start at 9 am," Tuyishime says.
However, she finds that the one hour from 8:00 am and 9:00 am is a bit"confusing" because"who is going to open their laptops when they have kids to prepare for school or while they commute to their workplaces?"
