Summertown Interiors

We’ve noticed that our employees’ extensive commuting time is becoming more and more frustrating, therefore we’ve (Summertown Interiors) recently introduced several opportunities to reduce commuting time. For example, the introduction of flexible business hours; which gives employees the possibility to start early and finish work before the traffic jam begins. Or work one day 8 hours and the next day 10 hours, which also give employees the possibility to avoid traffic jams on certain days and reach home at a decent hour. Or carpooling in a Summertown car to avoid public transport which take much longer.

Does anybody have other suggestions how to reduce commuting time? Should we only hire new employees living nearby the office? Which is a little difficult since we’re based in Jebel Ali Free Zone!! Should we oblige new employees to move nearby our office location? Should we employ staff who only have their own cars? Should we move our office? Of-course some of these ideas are out the question as they are completely impractical, however it gives a platform where we can start looking for real options to save time and have happier employees.
