PepsiCo Offers Employees Shorter Workweek During the Summer

From an article dated February 1, 2006 on The Society for Human Resource Management web site:

"The HR managers polled, whose organizations ranged in size from fewer than 25 employees to more than 2,000, cited the following strategies they use to keep employees from riding off into the sunset:

• Provide a workplace that respects, encourages and enables work/life balance, and provide a workplace “brand” experience that satisfies workers on many levels. Yahoo! offers on-site dental services at some of its locations, for example, and PepsiCo offers employees a shorter workweek during the summer to give them greater personal time, the report noted."

Several other strategies were listed. The entire article can be viewed at this address: http://www.shrm.org/hrnews_published/CMS_015681.asp
