Ad Agency Gives Workers 500 Paid Hours to Pursue Passions

A Minneapolis ad agency (BDM) gave workers an amazing gift this summer - time, and not just a few hours, but a whopping 500, AND with pay!  President and Executive Creative Director Stuart D'Rozario said, "You have 500 hours of your life back; figure out what you're passionate about and go do it."

BDM's workers were told the 500 paid hours were theirs to use as they wished. The only thing they could not do was "nothing." The company told them to find something they have always wanted to do but hadn't had the time.
