Melissa in the Morning: Ever Heard of VTO?

You’ve heard of PTO…but what about V-TO? Crunchbase, a private company data provider, has been offering “volunteering time off” (VTO) to its employees since 2018. They say it’s a major benefit for workers and some studies are backing that up. Recently, a study from Oxford University found volunteering is a major benefit for workers with a lot of positive outcomes. So, why don’t more people offer this and is this a no-brainer for companies to begin offering? We asked our career strategist, Julie Bauke, about this during Julie on the Job.
