The Edelheit Experience

The Untapped Potential of Paid Time Off with Veetahl Eilat-Raichel

Jonathan Edelheit / Veetahl Eilat-Raichel Season 1 Episode 8

Veetahl Eilat-Raichel is the CEO and co-founder of Sorbet, a financial and human resources technology company. Sorbet is a startup disrupting paid time off (PTO) by offering employees and employers ways to maximize their efficiency around unused PTO. Eilat-Raichel has worked at multinational banks in Switzerland, Israel, and the United States and was most recently the Chief Marketing Officer at Isracard, the largest credit card and payment company in Israel.

This conversation on the Edelheit Experience dissects the intersection between PTO, employee wellness, and employer performance. Find out why the utilization of PTO benefits employees and employers, why 4-day work weeks won't inherently change the corporate culture on its own, and how the explosion of remote working can hinder much-needed rest.

According to Eilat-Raichel, each year, US employers carry over more than $272 billion in unused vacation days, an equivalent of 900 million days that could be used to rest, recharge and rejuvenate. Listen to this episode for a brilliantly unique and creative approach to PTO and employee wellness.
