Have you heard about the Protiviti Sabbatical Program? As part of our Protiviti People Promise, Meaningful Rewards and Recognition, we offer the Sabbatical Program to our employees so that our people may voluntarily take time off for their own pursuits. The Sabbatical Program allows eligible employees to take a personal leave of absence throughout the year for a one to three month period of time. This is a great way for our people to experience a good work/life blend!
Here’s a little glimpse of what some of our West Region team members did on their recent sabbaticals!
Jeff Taylor, San Francisco IAFA IT Audit Manager
What did you do during your sabbatical?
I went on my honeymoon! Married last September, we decided to wait until after busy season and the holidays. We went to Belize for 2 weeks (also spent some time visiting family in the Midwest). In Belize, we stayed at 2 resorts (Jungle and Beach). We spent time exploring the local culture, hiking through the jungle visiting many of the ancient Mayan ruins located in Belize, took some amazing cave tours, snorkeling on the reef, sailing, and some ultimate R&R on some of the most beautiful beaches.
How long was your sabbatical?
1 month
Do you have any feedback/comments you would like to share about your experience or about the sabbatical program?
Take advantage of it! Just do it you, will not regret it. Sometimes the hardest things can be putting down your work and taking some time to recharge. It was truly nice just to ‘get away’. I had no cell phone, no laptop, no work to think about what so ever. I came back feeling fully recharged.

The sabbatical program is a great way to be able to focus on personal goals or dreams that may be difficult to accomplish when working full time. It allows us to take a break, relax and focus on ourselves outside of our professional development.
