Encourage Employees to Take Much-Needed Vacations
February 25, 2013 3 Comments
At The Fool we have a “take what you need” vacation policy. When we need a sick day, an extra day to get over jet lag, or to travel on off-peak days, no one in HR is counting our vacation time as long as we get our job done. And that line blurs even more […]
