Workspan Podcast takes on the most pressing workplace issues with a healthy mix of insight and wit.

In This Episode
Employer-sponsored sabbaticals come in different flavors and help accomplish different strategic objectives. We learn about the different types of sabbaticals, why you should offer them, how they can be structured, and best practices to consider — including how to encourage highly-tenured employees to make use of this benefit. We are joined by Rich Fuerstenberg, senior partner with Mercer, who works with clients on healthcare and group benefit programs.
