The Japanese Manufacturer of Semiconductors Disco made employees pay for work from the house. According to Bloomberg, thus in the company seek to support those who are not afraid to enter the office in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
After the introduction of Quarantine constraints, Disco could not send the entire state to the remote, as someone’s physical presence in production is needed for normal operation. The new corporate approach is that those who work out of the house are paying drunk to go to the office.
Inside the company operates its own currency – “Will”. It is paid literally everything: from office tables to the development of products and factory production. When the sale is made, the coin is seeping back on the supply chain. Remains are paid in the yen at the end of each quarter as bonuses.
For example, at the beginning of the pandemic about 40 percent of workers went to the office and received significant bonuses. “We had to prove to employees that going to work is not scary,” said the chief executive director of Disco Kadzumi Skin. – Although some believed that it was cruel, and several people quit. “
This approach has already shown the result: the company reported a record revenue and arrived in the past fiscal year and boasts one of the highest profitability in the industry. Over the past five years, its shares have grown more than three times.
