Boston, MA 08/15/2014 (wallstreetpr) – The U.S. based coffee retailer, Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) is on the way to implement improved scheduling practice to make the café workers’ lives easier and pleasing. After the struggling story leaked in the New York Times by one of the company’s employee, Starbucks is now working on some solution of it.
Back to back shifts hampering the work environment:
The global leading coffee-shop chain is on the verge to change the policies that are stressful and tiring. The systems will help the café workers get relief from back to back shifts, opening as well as closing shifts. The president of American province, Cliff Burrows on an e-mail mentioned this to more than 130,000 workers employed in the nation. In fact, the company will also transfer the workers close to their domicile in order to reduce the commute time.
The newspaper report features:
Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) is also trying to change the rules and regulation and update the plan after the report released in the newspaper. The story featured a barista who is facing tremendous problem to manage her child’s schooling and day-care because of the work schedule. The timings of working hour, staying till 11 pm and then again joining the workplace at 4 am are disturbing the entire schedule of the day.
Burrows to take responsibility of better work and life culture:
Burrows in a letter on August 14, 2014 said that the schedule should be posted a week ago in order to get accustomed with the timings. Burrows also added that taking care of the employees is a crucial responsibility, which should be taken to balance their personal lives as well as work culture. Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) in June announced that it would start reimbursing the American workers to achieve degrees from Arizona State University through online.
