Encouraging a work/life balance is important, but creating an opportunity for employees to do it on their terms is more important.
Instead of forcing every employee to take their given paid time off (PTO), develop a “sell-back” program where employees can sell back their PTO.
This type of initiative does take time to organize and plan and does cost some depending on how many employees decide to cash in, but implementing this type of initiative can help people who would prefer the money over the time off.
