Consultants often spend much of their time away from home. Deloitte and Touche recently implemented a policy that curbs its consultants' travel time. Instead of spending five days a week at a client's office, consultants spend three nights and four days, fly home, and work a fifth day at their home cities. One observer argued that Deloitte and Touche is putting em- ployee concerns ahead of good business. Deloitte and Touche should focus on company profits, not employee comfort. Do you agree that the firm is necessarily wasting company profits? Explain using concepts from class. In answering this question assume that employees would be more productive if they stayed at the client's office.
