cofounder of Afar Media, where employees get unlimited vacation time and a $2,000 credit to travel the world."The best employees are those who are engaged with their work, engaged with the world and energized by opportunities to see new and different things."
Sama Abdi, social media manager at TourRadar, has traveled to countries like Greenland and Cuba with TourRadar's FAM trip program—and she says the results are powerful."Working in travel is very rewarding for a variety of reasons: not only do I get to inspire others to book their dream escape, but I also get the chance to travel for free," says Abdi.
When FullContact—a technology company that provides a suite of cloud-based contact management solutions—launched its in 2012, it created a ton of buzz. Not only does the company provide $7,500 per year for employees to travel, it also requires that they don’t work while on vacation and that they don't check business emails, texts or calls. Moreover, employees have to actually go on vacation or they have to pay back the $7,500.
Likewise, TourRadar encourages its employees not just to take time off to travel but to take time off for travel."When you’re traveling on one of our multi-day tours, it isn’t just an extra day trip on top of a weekend while you’re still constantly looking at your phone for work," says Wolters."These are international experiences that average seven days in length.
Ultimately, Wolters believes that TourRadar's focus on work/life balance is helping foster a more enlightened workplace culture that encourages employees to be open-minded, adventurous and ready to take on any challenge.
