It seems like a recipe for anarchy: At Tech Target,
interactive media company in USA, all the 210 employees are free to come and go as they please. There are no set policies on working hours or sick, personal and vacation days. More productive between midnight and 4 am? "No problem, "says the founder and CEO Greg Strakosch.
Strakosch, 40, may sound like a leftover from feverish, try anything days of the new economy. But financial results tell a different story. The four-year-old company's open-leave" policy, Strakosch says, is the biggest reason why turnover is expected to hit $35million this year, up to nearly 30 per cent from last year. "It's a competitive weapon," he says.
That doesn't surprise Shoshana Zuboff, professor of business administration at Harvward. In the age of intellectual assests, she says, it's absurd to treat workers with an industrial-age mindset. We should be beyond demanding just loyalty from workers and we should trust them to be honest about managing their life time," Zuboff says.
