Have you heard about SAS?

Have you heard about SAS? The billion-dollar software company, which has a 3% employee turnover rate and an unbroken string of 24 quarters of increased profits. This private company has a 35-hour workweek, free medical benefits, and free child care to name just a few. So is it altruism or good business.

 I think it’s a bit of both. For example, the medical benefits are available on-site. Therefore a normal 2-3-hour office visit gets cut down to 30 minutes.

And because parents don't have to deal with childcare problems offsite and have the "peace of mind" knowing their child is just downstairs, their focus increases productivity.

 The CEO lives in North Carolina (sounds like a Christian to me) but whatever

He is or wherever he lives is not important at this point.  What's important

is that he is putting others before himself...and that investment always

pays good dividends!

 What does God’s word have to say.

 Phil 2:2-4

2        then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.

3        Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

4        Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

(NIV)
