Who wants a sabbatical? 🙋 At One Medical, we’ve been offering paid four-week sabbaticals to employees since 2013 — allowing our team members to grow in both their personal and professional lives. Employees have used the time to do everything from travel, learn a new language, spend time with family, or even just pick up a new hobby. Population Health Medical Director and in-office provider Lenny Lesser, MD, for instance, spent a week cycling, before participating in the “marathon” of bike racing in the Italian Dolomites. Afterwards, he traveled around Europe with his wife and kids, ending the trip at Disneyland Paris. Here’s what Lenny has to say about his sabbatical: “During my sabbatical I learned how doing something hard, whether it be a bike race, or traveling around Europe with two small kids, is important to reset the brain. I also learned that not everything is about winning or being the best. I finished in the middle of the race, not bad, but not great. It's ok to not be at the front and always trying to be the best – sometimes it's okay to go a little slower and just enjoy the experience.” How would you spend your sabbatical? ⬇️ #sabbatical #worklifebalance #employeebenefits #employeespotlight #employeehealth #humancentered
