This ONE Thing Attracts Top TalentAdded:
If you want a high-performing [music] team, you need to give them the freedom to reset. I think a lot of people misunderstand this. They think that giving a high amount or unlimited or [music] flexible paid time off means that you're going to get all these lazy people. You will either get really lazy people or you're going to get really high-performing people because [music] high-performing people want to know that they don't have a ton of rules that they have to abide by. They want to know they have a lot of freedom. [music] Same with really lazy people. And so that's why this is a piece of the package, not all of it. But I will say this, employees who feel like they're being punished [music] for taking time off are either going to leave, they're never going to join, or they're going to burn out.
