Episode: Tactical, Practical Sabbaticals: how companies can benefit from well-tailored employee sabbatical policies.
Description: Rich Fuerstenberg, a Senior Partner with Mercer, works with clients on their healthcare and group benefit programs, connecting dots for employers and employees helping them reduce cost and risk while improving the benefits experience. The focus of our conversation is employer-sponsored sabbaticals – the different types, why they’re offered, ways they can be structured, how to prod employees with “tenure” to take them when they’re reluctant to do so, and best practices to ensure productive (paid and unpaid) sabbaticals.
