Starbucks Extends Shifts for Employees
San Francisco Starbucks Corp. has changed its scheduling system to allow fewer employees to work more hours, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The program aims to reduce its labor costs and improve sales by fostering familiarity between customers and a smaller group of employees, the report said. It is also a part of a broader plan to revive the company amid a slowdown in sales that has prompted the company to shut stores and curb its expansion, the report said.
