Additional Case 8.4
RightChoice is a computer retailing company. It is very popular with employees because of flexible shifts, rotating job schedules, and the lenient policies regarding time off for family care. This also makes employee cohesiveness very important because sometimes employees will be called to work on days off or pulled off of another job in order to help in a different department. Though this may be a difficulty for a larger business, the atmosphere and benefits that come with such flexibility are appreciated by employees.
