I have witnessed firsthand how adding a Volunteer Time Off policy impacted culture in the workplace and was so convinced of the its value that I included VTO from the very start when I started my own firm. Judging from the number of times I have been asked about this policy and the surprised responses I get, VTO is still not very common or even very widely known about in our area. The reason I offer VTO time is because I think it’s the right thing to do both for my employees
