Let’s talk about time off management.

PTO is one of the most valued benefits for U.S. employees. If administered properly, it can have a huge impact on your company.

Unfortunately, many U.S. employees feel like vacations are discouraged. A new hire excited about generous PTO becomes disengaged when they notice that their co-workers aren’t taking vacations. Or when they do take a vacation, their supervisor implies that they should answer client emails or log in remotely to meetings.

Create a Vacation Culture

Create a vacation culture at your business. This means that you encourage vacations. Certainly, management should set a good example. In addition, managers shouldn’t expect employees to check in while they’re away. After all, everyone should have the chance to disconnect completely. A vacation culture improves employee morale. And, of course, moral and productivity go hand in hand.
