FLORIDA — As companies continue to struggle with finding and keeping employees, one Chick-fil-A operator in Florida might have the winning recipe for employee retention.

He’s been giving employees a three-day workweek.

Employees work 13 to 14 hour workdays for three days and the result is 100% retention at the management level and for applicants. The restaurant received more than 420 new job applications.
