Explain the benefits of PTO.

Organizations do not generally generate revenues when employees are not working and productive, so it is advantageous to keep employees healthy, engaged, and excited about their jobs and their work. Additionally, employees require some type of paid-time off benefit to recharge and reinvigorate their efforts and motivation. Elements you may want to consider include whether you will you give an exact number of days for each individual, whether that number will be based on something else (e.g., job title, time with the company). . Using concepts and theories from this week’s readings, this discussion will help establish a fundamental understanding of the many forms that Paid Time Off benefits can take. Referring to an organization where you have worked or with which you are familiar:

• Discuss 2-3 specific strategies providing a rationale which this organization should adopt to formally program paid-time off to employees while still effectively managing their costs and ensuring that the organization can meet its demands.

• Analyze what positive and negative impacts your proposed strategies might have on this organization, and
• Identify whether these strategies will improve employee engagement

Be sure to cite examples from this week’s readings and others you find in the Library to support your claims.
