What is VTO (Volunteer Time Off) used for?

VTO, or Volunteer Time Off, is specifically designed to allow employees to take paid time off from work to engage in volunteer activities with qualified non-profit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status. This initiative encourages employees to contribute to their communities, support charitable causes, and participate in social impact efforts, all while being compensated by their employer.

This practice not only benefits the community but can also enhance employee satisfaction and strengthen company culture by fostering a sense of shared purpose and values among employees. The focus is on volunteering, which is why it's specifically tied to contributions that benefit recognized non-profits rather than any personal days, industry conferences, or training workshops.
