This HR manager took 3 months off with pay to hike in Europe. Here are the personal and financial benefits of a sabbatical in the private sector. investinyou (In partnership with acorns.)

That is one of the goals of Automattic's policy — to allow workers to recharge. It also gives them time to think about what they want to do.

It can also benefit those left behind, since people take on new responsibilities to cover for the worker on sabbatical. Lori McLeese, global head of human resources for Automattic, hiked the Camino de Santiago during her sabbatical in 2016.Since the program's inception in 2015, 366 employees have taken 375 sabbaticals . In addition, there are 80 sabbaticals planned for 2022 and early 2023.

The past two years have just been so hard on everyone, and the luxury of being able to have three months and just care for yourself, it's just an invaluable experience.He has interviewed hundreds of people about their sabbaticals and found that the time off gives people ample space to do identity work.

So another words all she did was prove that she is not needed at work if the HR dept still functioned for 3 months with out her. The company lost 3 months pay cause im sure she went back to work more depressed then before she left cause now she misses being off that long.

Who tf can take off 3 months and get paid? Guess I chose the wrong industry

Typical day for any HR “executive” and zero impact on the actual business. They should all take full time “sabbaticals” and watch the stock market skyrocket

Sounds like they weren’t needed if they can take 3 months off

I was on fmla for 2-3 months for my shoulder injury. I'm table games dealer in a casino. I didn't get paid! Why can't fmla's be paid leave ? Must be sweet to have a job to take a sabbatical just to go hiking!!!

Does anyone just work at their job and get paid anymore?

So, for 2 companies. Slow news day?

What a load of crap.

yeah, like this is realistic for all of us 🙄

This is awesome 👏..An employee will totally be committed to a company that do this 😌 Peace leave

Where do I sign up for that?
