• Implications for HR professionals – How to handle moonlighting ? • For this we need to understand pros and cons for Organization
PROS It may reduce turnover in areas where responsibilities are tedious /monotonous Balance your organization, providing more flair in lackluster areas If we can’t afford to pay our staff more, allowing them to moonlight may help retain them CONS Risk of losing proprietary & confidential info to competitors Working two positions may lead to exhaustion and burnout. Workers may commit minor infractions or serious offenses, such as starting their second occupations on company time before completing their first ones
