What We Do
We Ensure Best Practices.
Our research on more than 200 sabbatical programs provides the benchmarking data you need to create a program that fits your company, connects to your values, AND stands out among the competition.
We Boost Your Bench Strength.
We’ll guide you through the process of creating an innovative program unique to your culture – one that leverages your commitment to human capital. We’ll even stick around for your pilot, if you want. Or we can come for a day as your partner, opening up our brains before turning you loose with program options and ideas. And always, we’re your “red telephone”, your sabbatical help-line … just in case you encounter challenges.
We Guarantee Impact.
Creatively, we’ll work to design materials to make certain an individual’s sabbatical experience has value for them as well as benefits for your company. Work coverage workbooks guide everyone through the process of breaking down a job, choosing the right coverage partners, and seamlessly re-entering the job. Our tools and materials include program policies, sabbatical applications and plans, participant manuals, assessment tools, and a whole caboodle of program communications for your organization.
