Today we’re sending out some small agency love to 11-person Parallax, who have instituted an absolutely brilliant policy: a $1500 travel budget for all employees. Say what?

The rules:

1. You have to go somewhere you’ve never been.
2. You have to go between September and December.
3. It has to “push your comfort zone.”

And yes, that appears to be it. All employees. Anywhere in the world.

We love this idea because it recognizes your team members as whole people — who are sustained and inspired by experiences outside of work, and yet are always bringing that inspiration into work with them. Encouraging (and funding!) trips like this says more than just “we care about our employees.” It says our employees are brilliant, creative people whose personal development want to invest in.
