The Situation:
Ruth Weinstein had worked at APECT Consulting for the past 18 years. Shortly after becoming president several years ago. she recognized that turnover was quite high. The average consultant at the firm left after five to six years of employment. I n exit interviews, departing consultants consistently talked about “being burned out” or “needing an extended break.” Most of these departing employees still had months of unused paid vacation leave, which consistently prompted Ruth to ask, “Why didn’t you use your vacation time?” Consultants often said they felt a pressure avoid vacation, especially if they were early-career professionals trying to prove themselves. Some consultants said they thought they’d lose certain client accounts if they took time off.
Ruth anticipated that most employees would welcome the new policy with its focus on fostering a better work-life balance and improving employee satisfaction and the others would be disappointed they could no longer build up cash pay-outs. Ruth drafted a message about the new policy to send to employees.
