Transforming Paid Time Off with Rob Whalen, BNFT

HRchat Podcast

Every year, millions of vacation days are rendered worthless to the employees who earned them.

As employees accrue vacation time, the value of that time sits as a liability on a balance sheet and that number can drastically increase over time.

While the first option for employees should be to use all their paid time off, the next best solution is to gain value from a benefit that would otherwise expire.

Joining Bill Banham on the show this time is Rob Whalen, CEO & Co-founder at BNFT (formerly PTO Exchange), the first benefits platform that allows employees to self-direct the value of their unused paid time off (PTO) for other needs and causes.

About Rob Whalen

Rob is a serial entrepreneur who has over 25 years of experience selling and developing software and hardware products.

While building the company, Rob and his co-founder, Todd Lucas, found their mission was to enable flexibility in those benefits that employees earned but could not utilize. They also discovered that by enabling this capability and accountability, BNFT created equity and inclusion for workers to be compensated for their accrued productivity - creating a better benefit.
