No more work schedules

Check out this interesting article on Yahoo entitled, "Smashing the Clock. No schedules. No mandatory meetings. Inside Best Buy's radical reshaping of the workplace," by Michelle Conlin, BusinessWeek Online.

"It seems to be working. Since the program's implementation, average voluntary turnover has fallen drastically, CultureRx says. Meanwhile, Best Buy notes that productivity is up an average 35% in departments that have switched to ROWE. Employee engagement, which measures employee satisfaction and is often a barometer for retention, is way up too, according to the Gallup Organization, which audits corporate cultures."
