Here at FullContact, we know that life is about so much more than just work. People are happy and productive when they get adequate time to focus on their families and friends, hobbies and passions, and mental\/physical\/spiritual health.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why in 2020, we started to offer Mental Health Days<\/a> when we realized our team wasn\u2019t taking full advantage of their unlimited Vacation Time Off (VTO). While we\u2019re proud to offer a generous vacation package, we also understand that there\u2019s an added benefit when everyone is off work simultaneously. Our team can relax and rejuvenate without emails or Slack messages coming in that could tempt them into working when they should be, well, doing anything besides working.<\/p>\n

When thinking about the future, our senior leadership decided how to support the team further\u2014even more company-wide time off! That\u2019s right. We\u2019re INCREASING<\/strong> our company holidays from the 2021 list by a total of 5 more days in the U.S. and 6 more days in India!<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s not all. In addition to extra holidays and mental health days, we\u2019re also adding Summer \u00bd Day Fridays and a Day of Service. To put it into perspective, the national average for company-provided holidays in the US is only nine days a year, and the national average for company-provided holidays in India is only 13 days a year. We are proud to offer almost triple the US national average with 26 days and more than double the Indian national average with 27 days!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Below is the list of holidays for our employees. While we recognize this isn\u2019t an all-inclusive list of the numerous holidays and traditions that exist, we encourage our employees to take advantage of FullContact\u2019s available time off benefits to enjoy and celebrate their cultural, religious, and\/or family traditions.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to join a team that wants you to truly cherish your time away from work, apply here<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
