Studies confirm that the best managers and leaders have rich personal lives. Is your company realizing the power of time away from the job?


Sabbaticals in Lieu of Layoffs

Time off instead of a layoff. Companies strapped for cash are looking for creative ways to cut costs. And some are offering sabbaticals. The idea is to take several weeks off with benefits, but little or no salary.

It’s something more companies are doing in an economic crunch. Workers spend the time recharging while companies save cash. Sabbaticals can be anywhere from a few weeks to several months.
