awqi zar on 20 Mar 10Many large companies have policies that allow employees to spend some of their time working on their own projects. These programs are often used to entice high-caliber job applicants, as well as encourage innovation. For example, Google has what it calls "20-Percent Time", where its employees spend one day each workweek on project they're passionate about, while 3M calls its version "15% culture," which "encourages technical employees to spend 15 percent of their time on projects of their own choosing and initiative."
