A $ 7,500 bonus against a single condition: forget about emails and various projects at work for a few days, because striking a balance between leisure and work is essential to a healthier lifestyle .

There are companies that make life difficult for their employees when it comes to taking annual leave, there are others who never discuss this part, but there are some who are ready to give bonuses to their employees by forcing them the last to go on vacation. This is the US multinational company FullContact, which has recently decided to give its employees a $ 7,500 bonus that they must use to go on vacation.

Unbelievable? Not at all. According to Bart Lorang, CEO and founder of FullContact, such a policy will help employees be more productive and, above all, never want to leave this company. But beware, such a bonus is only given to those employees who admit that they will not check emails and any work-related messages during this pause that they will make.

As for the use of technological equipment, there is no clause that accompanies this policy, but according to Mr. Lorang, in such a way that these holidays are used to the fullest extent possible and that his employees are fully laid off, he recommends their reduced use. But the company does not in any way interfere with where and when employees decide to take this period of hiatus.

The $ 7,500 bonus will also be given to those employees who decide to spend this time on their home sofa. But the idea is that after the employee receives this bonus, when he returns to work, he should bring along vacation photos to show to all his colleagues.

All of this is being done to promote a healthy lifestyle in which professional and personal life are in balance.
