Our mission is to improve the lives of employees everywhere

We Believe in Taking Time Off

Everyone benefits when you take time off from work. Your health and well-being improves, and you come back to work feeling refreshed and relaxed–a better teammate all around. For your employer, employees that take time off are more productive, less likely to quit, and incur lower costs and liabilities associated with unused PTO.

But despite the benefits, research shows that less than half of Americans use all of their time off and the large majority of employees admit to working while on vacation.

There are many reasons why we don’t take time off, or don’t fully disconnect, including financial stress, workplace pressures, a sense of guilt to their team, and the headaches of planning a vacation. At PTO Genius, we’re building a new generation of HR technology that reimagines from the ground-up what people can do with their time off and how employers think about their time off policies. We proactively encourage employees to use their time off, and surface the best times to get away so they can disconnect without feeling guilty about it. We show employees personalized vacation recommendations, and then let them book discounted flights, hotels, and unique activities. We enable employees to easily convert their extra PTO into financial wellness through retirement contributions, student loan payments, cash, college savings, and health savings. And we give companies new insights into their employee engagement and burnout, PTO-related liabilities, and potential cost savings.

All of this works towards the same goal, our mission: To help people disconnect from work, so they can reconnect with the people, places, and activities they love most.
