Hair-raising BPO stats
13th November 2006 -Times of India
New Delhi: A disturbing trend seems to be rising from India’s sunshine sector of BPOs — one that might make the hairs on the necks of prospective workers stand up. A survey of clients visiting a homeopathy clinic in Bangalore has shown that 27% of those seeking help for their receding hairline worked for BPOs.
It was the highest chunk, and is particularly worrying as mostly youngsters are kno-wn to flock to call centres. “Hair disorder primarily stems from stress. The higher rate of lifestyle change, less sleep, unhealthy food and odd working schedules of employees in BPOs lead to increased stress which in turn leads to hair loss,’’ said Mukesh Batra, CMD of Dr Batra’s Positive Health Clinic.
