What are company-wide holiday shutdowns?
Company shutdowns are periods of time when a business or organisation closes, and employees all take holiday at the same time. This collective time off can help promote a healthy work-life balance and foster a positive company culture. During a shutdown, employees are not expected to work and to treat the time as regular PTO.
By implementing company shutdowns as a benefit, employers can ensure that their team takes a break from work-related stress and have the opportunity to rest and recharge. The benefits of company shutdowns include increased employee morale, decreased burnout rates, and improved overall productivity.
