Why Sabbaticals Are Costly and Avoidable for Companies

Many employees decide to take a sabbatical.
Why?

  • To see the world.
  • To take time for themselves.
  • To discover new cultures.

That’s completely understandable.
But from a company’s perspective, it becomes a problem:
Your employee is gone for several months – and that costs.

  • New job postings
  • Onboarding
  • Training
  • Added pressure on the current team

But there’s another solution:
Let your employee work remotely from Thailand.
They remain just as productive –
With the same salary. The same contract.
But with sunshine, beaches, and a new outlook on life.

This way, your company saves money,
And your employee gets the change they’ve been craving.
Productivity increases, and when they return,
They’re more motivated and happier.

Thomas reached out to me last week.
He had already quit his job because he needed a change.
Now his manager is reconsidering –
Letting him work remotely from Thailand instead.

That’s what appreciation looks like.

So what would you offer your employee:
A break – or a new chapter?
