4 Ways Workplace Culture Impacts the Bottom Line of Your Business

No one denies the emotional appeal of more freedom in the workplace. Who wouldn’t want to be treated like an adult at work, to be trusted to get the work done, and not be tied to the clock or desk chair?

4. Vacation days, sick days, and paid time off: What are the costs associated with paid time off? Additionally, what are the costs and resources involved for tracking and managing this time?
