If you owned the business you currently work for what 3 things would you change?

My current company is pretty pants when it comes to it's employees. If I was boss I'd introduce...

1) Flexible working for ALL (not just mummy's with kids under 6!). Basically, as long as you do your 7.5 hrs a day you can work between 7am and 7pm.

2) No suits etc. My old company let it's staff wear whatever they like (within reason). Made the atmosphere in the office a lot more relaxed. Now I can wear jeans on a Friday. Woo fking hoo. WHY? We don't have clients in the building. Why if we can wear jeans on a Friday can we not for the rest of the week?

3)You get your birthday off. Just 'coz really but it would be a nice touch.

4) Hotties only to be employed. Short skirts and low tops to be worn at ALL times

If you already run your own company what have you introduced which is little out of the ordinary?

well the company i work for has close to half a million employees globally so if i were made the big boss the changes would all be to do with the ceo's new salary and perks!

on a local level:

1] bring all engineering work in house

2] stop our consulting arm charging for their non-services. we'd blow the competition dead if they didn't slap 5figures onto every contract for the priveledge of signing it.

3] bring back workwear for everyone bar our account managers. its an extra 10mins in bed if i don;t have to iron!
