PTO PSA
HALFWAY THERE
NOW is the time to review your PTO balances and requests! Time to start collaborating with your teams and job sites to ensure everyone gets some much-needed R&R, while ensuring coverage. Remember… Failing to Plan, is Planning to Fail!
TIPS
PTO + PRODUCTIVITY
There are many studies that indicate employees who utilize their PTO are more rested, creative, and engaged which leads to less stress and burnout. Samet cares about its employee’s well-being and work life balance, so let’s ALL take advantage of our PTO Plan.Â
Take a day off, get creative, active or just relax. I recently took some time off and biked part of the Virginia Creeper Trail, highly recommend. Nature can be a good stress reliever.
