Completely agree with this. This, among other research we’ve done, helped inspire us to take our first sabbatical. We’ve learned a lot along the way and we validate the claims made here. Sabbaticals are amazing experiences that transform our lives!
Now, Chris and Sally are made redundant because their leadership decides that if they run successfully for 1 month without them, they can always run successfully without them. Would love a company to care enough to give sabbaticals, but corporate greed is real.
Good question, Seethi. We did not cut salaries to make this happen. The first year we did it as an experiment-being transparent that we didn't really know what the full economic cost/benefit would be, and whether it would be sustainable. The good news is, it worked! Really well in fact.

Wow I wanna join this company!!
Me too.
Most of the countries ensure a month or more off work by law.... by the title i imagined it would be longer term.
In the u.s. 2 weeks per year is the most common amount of vacation provided, and that is if your company even gives you paid time off.
But do they have to cut salaries to make this work?
