Subject: Request to Allow Carryover of Unused Vacation Days for Enhanced Employee Well-Being and Productivity

Dear Mr. Smith,

I am writing to respectfully propose that our company consider modifying our current policy to allow employees to carry over unused vacation days into the following year. Recent feedback from staff indicates that many have sacrificed their planned vacations in late Q4 to contribute to the successful installation of our new computer system, demonstrating their dedication and commitment. However, this dedication should be balanced with the importance of rest and recuperation, which are vital for maintaining high productivity and employee morale.

Allowing unused vacation days to be carried over aligns with our organizational values of employee well-being, respect for individual efforts, and adaptability. It also demonstrates recognition of the cultural diversity within our workforce, where different employees may have varying needs and vacation practices. Enabling carryover will foster a more inclusive and supportive workplace while reducing the stress associated with opting to forgo planned time off.

Establishing this policy change will also reinforce our credibility as an employer who values and invests in its human capital. I am confident that this adjustment will result in increased job satisfaction, decreased burnout, and ultimately, higher productivity levels. Several industry leaders have adopted similar policies with positive outcomes, further supporting this initiative. I would be happy to discuss this proposal further and explore ways to implement it smoothly, ensuring it benefits both our employees and the organization as a whole.

Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to your positive response and to working together to enhance our work environment.

Sincerely,

Jane Doe

HR Manager
