The on-demand workstyle gets a formal role, benefits, at Amazon.
A new pilot program inside Amazon is creating technical teams consisting entirely of part-time employees — including managers — in the the company’s latest attempt to compete for tech talent and build a reputation as a flexible place to work.
The part-time employees who join the program will still be eligible for the same benefits as Amazon’s full-time employees, the company says. Every member of these teams will work part-time — a structure Amazon says will help employees coordinate schedules and own projects from start to finish.
