Firms such as Netflix have been famed for their enviable HR policies, which allow members of staff to take as much holiday as they like.
In an article published in Harvard Business Review, Patty McCord, the creator of Netflix’s 124-page document titled: ‘Netflix Culture: Freedom & Responsibility’, explained why having no rules empowers employees: “If you’re careful to hire people who will put the company’s interests first, who understand and support the desire for a high-performance workplace, 97% of your employees will do the right thing.”
