Taking a break is not always about resting—it can be about rediscovering purpose. At NVPC, we recognise the value of pausing to reflect, recharge, and gain new perspectives. That’s why we offer Take-a-Pause (TAP) Leave—two weeks of paid leave for every three years of service for our employees. For Lenard Pattiselanno, Senior Director of Community Leadership & Partnerships, his TAP leave was more than just a break—it was a journey of learning, family bonding, and self-discovery. From spending quality time with loved ones to picking up new skills, Lenard embraced this time to reflect on what truly matters. His biggest takeaway? Purpose isn’t just tied to a job title—it’s something we can craft in many ways. Read about his experience here: https://lnkd.in/gNbt_469
