Microsoft: Work and Travel Do Mix
Talk about getting creative. Talk about killing two birds with one stone. Talk about Microsoft’s innovative move to start employees’ working time the moment they step into the company bus to work.
According to sources, Microsoft started bus service for employees at Bangalore, India. The bus is obviously equipped with computers and connectivity which allows employees can start work from the bus. Their office hours counts from the time they switch on their computers in the bus. Needless to say, the time they spend working in the bus counts toward their stipulated working hours for the day.
So what gave birth to this gem of an idea? Well, as they say, necessity is the mother of invention, but sometimes a crisis can be, too. The crisis in this case was the infamous traffic Bangalore jam. Stuck? Work! Apparently, the management wasted no tie in accepting this idea which was proposed by an employee through their suggestion scheme.
