Reuters posted a story in January (okay I am behind the times) about Japanese marketing company which offers “heartache” leave. According to their CEO, the purpose is to allow “staff to cry themselves out and return to work refreshed.” They also provide four morning per year for “sales shopping leave”
From my perspective, these wouldn’t typically make for a great company policy. However, in this case, there are only seven people working there, all women. It seems to me that this is a CEO that knows the preferences of her team and offers perks that they really value.
What do you think?
