Workers may set hours at Occidental Life of California
Los Angeles United Press International reports Occidental Life of California will allow its 4,000 home office employees to choose flexible start times and daily hours starting next week with no reprisal. Computer staff may arrive 6:40 to 10 a.m. and others 7 to 9 a.m., leaving after a 7.5 hour workday. The plan, tested with 700 workers across three departments, yielded slightly higher productivity and up to 40 minutes less commuting time. About half of employees tried the change, with 80 percent starting earlier. The policy aims to ease traffic congestion and air pollution, a concept supported by researchers.
