Many employees often raise their concerns over toxic work culture and company’s tendency to push them beyond their working hours.

A Madhya Pradesh-based IT company is earning praises for coming up with an innovative idea to ensure its employees do not work overtime. HR specialist of the company, Tanvi Khandelwal shared a LinkedIn post on how a message pops up on desktop screen of the workers, apprising them 10 minutes before their shift ends.
