I know of several smaller companies that do this. It's a great policy IMO.

- sn9 3y agoBeyond the benefits of actually proving you give a damn about work-life balance, I suspect mandatory minimums of 4+ weeks of PTO force organizations to structure/hire/work in a way that makes everything more robust since you need to have people who can cover for others when they take time off or sick leave or just plain leave. You can't silo information if the silo can go off grid for a month or more. You can't have a dependency on a single individual without predictable and avoidable consequences, and what might have taken years to show up instead is obviously going to be you can see coming within the year. Your SMEs and high performers won't feel the pressure to avoid taking time off, and they'll need to improve documentation and knowledge/skill sharing. Managers will have incentives to support that as well.
