Denver based, FullContact.com, a cloud-based contact management solution for businesses, developers, and individuals, wants its employees to disconnect their emails, IMs, facebook, and other contemporary connections for a a full week and enjoy a vacation AWAY. If they are able to meet the challenge, the CEO will give them a $7,500 bonus. It's an interesting policy given our society's move toward virtual offices and flexible work hours.
It all started when Bart Lorang, CEO, was photographed using his I-phone on a vacation to Cairo, Egypt, with his fiancee. He reflected on seeing the picture and said to himself, 'What am I doing?'. This lead to changing his message to his employees - Bart wants you work hard, but when you're on vacation, BE on vacation.
In addition, FullContact is getting great press exposure as a result of this new policy (Market away!).
