When taking time off is good for business
American culture has always valued high worker productivity; it’s hard to encourage people in the U.S. to take time off from work. But one company thinks it can make more money by forcing employees to get out of the office and work fewer hours. For our weekly work segment, we talk with our contributor Beth Kobliner, Boston Consulting Group’s Grant Freeland and Harvard Business School’s Leslie Perlow about time off’s benefits for employers and employees alike.
