There are businesses that are seasonal. They make the majority of their money at certain points of the year. Companies that are in the vacation industry are very busy during the summer. Retail companies make most of their money towards the end of the year. I'm sure there are plenty more. If you can create a business servicing those sectors you might be able to give people time off during the slow times. My experience has been that the more we get the more we want. So after a while we stop appreciating what we have and expect more. I bet, after a bit, long sabbaticals are bound to be unappreciated. The last place I worked at had amazing benefits and lots of time off. Yet people would bitch about it not being enough. So I would make long sabbaticals a reward for the individuals rather than an expected benefit for it to continue its intended impact.
