Tu says that many of the things that create an enjoyable working environment at Kingston revolve around common sense. The driving range behind the company headquarters is a good example.
“In the beginning, we had maybe 10 or 15 people working,” says Tu. “And then, we usually were there until 8 or 9 in the evening. We didn’t go to lunch, we’d just eat in the office. So it was one of those things where you had to do something to have some fun.
“David [Sun] is a golfer. A golf nut. It was his idea. Whenever we were tired or wanted to stretch, we’d just go back there, drive the ball and feel totally relaxed before we went back to work. People have a lot of flexibility, and I think they like it. If you make life more flexible, people have more excitement.”
