Sabbaticals are prolonged absences from the workplace of people to achieve their life goals. This is a benefit provided by the organisations to its employees. Sabbaticals may or may not be paid. The trend of sabbaticals started from universities, where paid time off is granted for faculty members to carry out research, writing, etc.
Companies started having this policy so that employees can rejuvenate and do the following:
- Pursue higher studies & acquire new skills.
- Author books & pursue personal life goals.
- Quality time to improve their work life balance.
