Last November, Justin Churchill traveled around the US for six weeks, but the Jersey City, New Jersey, software engineer didn’t touch his unlimited vacation time. Instead, he took a sabbatical, no questions asked.
At his work-management platform company Asana, employees qualify for a paid sabbatical after completing four consecutive years of active, full-time employment.

It’s also unnecessary to provide a reason. “The sabbatical cleared my plate and gave me a chance to not only recharge, but also to restart at a more sustainable pace,” said Churchill. Habits picked up during the hiatus, such as turning notifications off on his phone and reviving a love of playing piano, have remained, even now that he is back at work.
