In a groundbreaking move, the founders of a popular astrology app have announced a new policy that grants employees seven weeks of mandatory paid time off (PTO). This initiative is aimed at promoting work-life balance and overall well-being among their team members. During a recent episode of the In Her Shoes podcast, co-founders Chani Nicholas and Sonya Passi delved into the community-driven business model that underpins their successful venture.
Nicholas emphasized the importance of self-care and mental health in the workplace, noting that extended time off allows employees to recharge and return to work with renewed energy and creativity. Passi echoed this sentiment, highlighting how a supportive work environment can lead to increased productivity and job satisfaction.
