From the reading: The Office Nobody Wants to Leave
What makes employees stay at a company for a decade when a rival offers more money? At LEGO's headquarters in Billund, Denmark, the answer is not the salary. It is the hour every employee spends each week simply building with bricks, alone or with colleagues, no deadline attached. LEGO calls this 'systematic creativity', and it is written into job contracts, not left to chance.
