Vacation time is just one way companies seek to differentiate themselves to current and prospective employees against their competitors. With the holidays approaching, Glassdoor has published a list of the 25 Highest Rated Companies for Vacation & Paid Time Off. This year, three healthcare organizations made the list.
Glassdoor based its ratings on benefits reviews from each company's employees. Staff at these highly rated companies said their PTO usually ranges from two to four weeks, with some companies offering the opportunity to earn more days off. Many additionally offer sick days and personal days, as well as time off for volunteering.
