In a recent memo to employees obtained by Bloomberg, Home Depot announced that all employees—including executives—will have to work a full eight-hour shift in a store once per quarter. This is brilliant, and how all businesses should operate when the core functions of the business differ substantially from the corporate office.

The corporate employees at Home Depot will get a first-hand experience of what it is like to work in one of the stores. The company will require all corporate employees, even senior management and remote workers, to do an 8-hour shift in a store each quarter, Bloomberg was first to report.
