Disco, a Japanese maker of semiconductor equipment, has a novel approach to remote work those who choose to stay home pay the colleagues who brave the commute to show up in the office.
The Tokyo-based company is unusual in that for the past decade it has used an internal currency called âWillâ to create a micro-economy where sales teams pay factory workers to produce goods, who in turn pay engineers to design products. Even office desks, PCs and meeting rooms have a price. When a sale is made, the coin trickles back through the supply chain. Leftover balances are paid in yen at the end of each quarter as bonuses.
