Business Impact of Paid & Unpaid Time Off Programming:

A study (2000) by the Radcliffe Public Policy Center surveyed 1,008 male workers between the ages of 20-39 and found that spending more time with their families was more important to them than challenging work or earning a high salary. In fact, 70 percent of respondents indicated that they would be willing to give up some pay in exchange for more family time.
