TantaComm Adopts Innovative Discretionary Time Off Policy for Employees
TantaComm announced that it is introducing a new, industry-leading policy that will allow employees to take vacation and sick days as needed, instead of an accrued amount of paid time off days.
MIDDLETON, WI, January 19, 2016 (Newswire.com) - TantaComm announced that it is introducing a new, industry-leading policy that will allow employees to take vacation and sick days as needed, instead of an accrued amount of paid time off days based on length of employment or job title.
“Culture and innovation are extremely important to us,” says Charley Eaton, CEO and President of TantaComm. “Our goal is to further enhance our culture of trust where employees are empowered to meet their project goals while managing their own time. I believe this policy is a better fit for the workforce of today and positions the company with better ideas and solutions for our clients. Employees do work vacation time out with their managers. We believe our discretionary time off (DTO) policy is the model for the tech firms of the future.”

Adrian Urgena, Chief Customer Care Officer at TantaComm, favors the DTO model, “It’s part of a growing movement to place more focus on results and empowerment, not hours worked. And it's an important step to help employees recharge and keep engaged, which ultimately translates into better customer service”. Adrian is located in Denver and has been exposed to the model in the Denver Tech Market. All told the company went from the traditional policy of accrued vacation to 7 paid holidays and the DTO model which was effective November 1st 2015. The feedback from the employees has been that “they love it” and appreciate being freed of taking forced vacations in order not to lose vacation time.
