\n
At most companies in the United States, vacation starts in the most unrelaxing way possible: permission slips. Accruing enough time to go on vacation then having to ask for permission to do so feels more like a fifth grade field trip than a grown-up getaway.<\/p>\n
Still, far too many companies rely upon the status quo to inform vacation policies. At HubSpot, we think that\u2019s archaic, so we designed a policy that allows employees to build their work around their life, not the other way around.<\/p>\n
Only about 13 percent of employees in the US are engaged in their work (Gallup<\/a>). Growing a business is virtually impossible when employees can\u2019t wait to get out the door at 5 PM.<\/p>\n
Promoting job flexibility<\/h3>\n
To attract and keep top talent today, companies have to build a modern workplace where people can spend less time worrying about their work\/life balance, and more time thinking about how they can drive results. Unlimited vacation means employees have flexibility between the hours of 9 and 5 and don\u2019t have to wait for a calendar holiday to relax.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
