PTO Culture Index – Measure & Improve Your Team's PTO Culture

Establishing a culture for PTO or improving what you have already? Take this quick 11-question assessment to find gaps, improve policies, and build a better PTO system today.

🛠️ How It Works

Your PTO culture affects coverage, communication, and workload balance. This quiz assesses six key areas:

  • Visibility → Do teams and managers know when employees are out?
  • Awareness → Can employees and managers track PTO usage or balances easily?
  • Process → Is requesting, approving, calendaring, and communicating PTO fast and automated?
  • Analysis → Can leadership see PTO trends and ensure fair usage?
  • Boundaries → Do employees feel confident truly unplugging?
  • Reinforcement → Does your team celebrate PTO and encourage time off?

Why it matters:

Teams with strong PTO cultures see higher engagement, better retention, stronger performance, and fewer last-minute coverage issues.

Those without?

  • Teams scramble to cover for missing employees without clear notice
  • Leadership has no insight or regular assessment of PTO usage
  • Work piles up before and after vacation
  • Neither managers nor employees have a great idea how much PTO is taken
