FRINGE BENEFITS FOR JAPANESE WORKERS
(Published 26 August 2011)
A Japanese construction company is looking to trim the energy consumed by its employees, by making them have the same hair cut.
Construction firm Maeda Corp. has requested that its 2,700 staff adopt identical hairstyles - the men a short back-and-sides but slightly longer on top and the women a "cute" bob with a longer fringe that can be swept to one side.
"Our company is very keen on protecting the environment and we encourage our staff to adopt many environment-friendly actions," said Chizuru Inoue, a spokesman for Maeda Corp.
"We are not sure of the data yet, but we believe if people have short hair they do not need to use their hair driers for so long and they will use less water," she said.
