Sabbatical Leave

Our Sabbatical Program was introduced on January 2016 and provides both Full- and Part-time staff with a required, paid leave of 4 consecutive weeks out of the office to pursue any activity of their choosing, be it volunteer work, a vacation, learning a new skill, spending time with family, or to simply relax.  The intent of the program is three-fold:

​

  • To promote a healthy balance between work and home – Time away from work will allow staff to refocus their energies and priorities outside of the workplace.

  • Encourage personal and professional growth – The individual on sabbatical will have time to pursue new skills or refine existing ones, while their absence will create cross-training and learning opportunities within their department or branch.

  • Attract and retain only the best talent – To continue to attract and retain top talent while rewarding staff for their years of dedication to the cooperative.

​

To learn more about the Guidelines and eligibility of the Sabbatical Leave program, please refer to the Employee Handbook.
