giving due credit - public transit from Google


I acknowledge that I am a bit of a Google fan and use a host of its web-clients (Gmail, Blogger, Picasa, Google Documents and JotSpot) but this article from The New York Times, reprinted today in the National Post, caught my attention because it shows how caring about its employees can contribute to a corporation’s success. Google is one of those companies that wins its potential customers’ favour by demonstrably earning its staff loyalty. While public transit should be a public service, reality is that service in Silicon Valley will likely remain woefully inadequate for years to come. By caring for its staff, Google is also showing its cares about the environment and takes another step towards ensuring client loyalty.
