Resource Actions: The benefits of time off to vote

Kathryn Moody: I was home in Indiana for about five days this past week, and I heard enough political ads to last me a good many months. It's definitely that time of year again. Katie Clarey: Yes, our mailbox can hardly shut after our mailwoman delivers all the candidates' fliers and pamphlets every day. Terrible waste of paper, by the way.

A fifth of workers in a recent Indeed survey said they wanted more censure of political talk at work and this was back in September, so you can imagine what some may be thinking now. This leaves peace-seeking HR managers between a rock and a hard place, as censoring speech at work can lead to both morale and legal problems if handled poorly. But employers have caught on to one way to help employees healthily express their political leanings and keep their water coolers clear of some controversy: paid time off to vote.
