For employers of all sizes, retaining and recruiting motivated, creative, and balanced employees is a constant challenge. The most innovative and successful companies recognize the value of an employer-backed sabbatical to recharge, rejuvenate, and reward employee performance.
“You could say I was forced into realizing the restorative power of time away,” says Rich Daileader, founder of Sabbatical Trek. “A layoff afforded me the time for the experience, and what I gained was a new perspective, and the realization that there’s opportunity for others to benefit from this same type of experience.”
Sabbatical Trek provides an organized and goal-oriented outdoor experience for executives at all levels. The result is a leadership and personal growth program that sharpens both decision-making skills and long-term focus that can only come through success in the most rewarding and challenging playing field that is nature.
“My own experiences on the trail have lead me to approach both business and personal challenges in a more thoughtful and tactical way,” added Daileader. “By bringing this same opportunity to executive leadership, they can be more effective and efficient in the boardroom and beyond.”
Seminars, classwork, and consultants may provide the nucleus of growth and change. But real transformation only comes through a hands-on, full-in experience in a challenging yet safe environment that’s away from the distractions of email, meetings and conference calls. Sabbatical Trek is that kind of experience.
