Accounting firm KPMG wanted to decrease payroll costs while maintaining its commitment to employees. KPMG gave employees the choice of a four-day workweek at 90 percent of their salary; a sabbatical at 30 percent of their base pay; either or both; or neither. To educate employees about their options, KPMG held conference calls, trained managers, and posted questions and answers on its intranet.
