全食市场公司的CEO相信,别的都可以省,带薪休假不能省。
杰森·比歇尔今年46岁,他于2022年担任全食公司CEO,此时距亚马逊以超 137 亿美元收购这家公司仅过去了五年。
作为一家大公司的CEO,比歇尔的工作非常紧张,经常出差,而且“每天至少要开 10 个会”,但这并不妨碍他好好照顾自己。

比歇尔在最近接受《财富》采访时表示:“我非常重视带薪休假。我每年都会用完我所有的休假时间。”
全食公司员工的带薪休假时间是根据职位高低和在公司的工作年限决定的。但无论一个员工每年有几天假期,比歇尔都强调,员工应该把假都休完,来“恢复元气,放松休闲”。
比歇尔表示:“这是我们在公司做出的改变之一。”在他主政之前,全食公司的员工如果没有休完带薪年假,是可以把剩下的假期折成现金奖励的。
但是,当时员工往往选择放弃来之不易的休假时间。比歇尔认为,这是员工的心理健康是有害的。当时曾有一名全食公司员工在Reddit论坛上发帖称,一个全食员工如果放弃2000小时的带薪休假,最高可以拿到26000 美元的现金补偿。
为了确保员工获得休假,全食公司给休假的可折现时长设置了一个上限。比歇尔认为,“这有助于强迫员工休假……最终实现工作与生活的较好平衡”。
“休假耻辱”已经成了美国职场上的一种文化现象。CalendarLabs公司 2023 年的一项民调显示,80% 的企业员工对带薪休假有一种负罪感,有38%的美国劳动者都没有休完他们应得的假期。
而比歇尔则是一个敢于“逆潮流而动”的人。他总是主动问他的团队成员,他们下次休假打算去哪里。
“我认为,在这方面树立一个榜样是很重要的。”这种态度也有助于比歇尔在工作和生活之间形成较好的平衡。他还《财富》独家介绍了他的日常生活和健身习惯。
全食公司CEO的一天
早上 6:00:每天不晚于早上6点起床。光是这一点,我们大多数人应该就会觉得不好意思了。
“我通常起床后做的第一件事就是——看手机。”他对《财富》说。
在查阅完收件箱里的邮件后,他一般会晨跑个5到6英里。

作为一家大公司CEO,比歇尔居然拥有6场马拉松的完赛记录。他的早餐通常是一杯自制奶昔,成份包括蘑菇、蔬菜、香草蛋白粉,再加上燕麦片、香蕉、花生酱和奇亚籽等等。

上午 8:00:开始工作,期间会处理更多邮件,也会关注一下新闻或听听播客。同时前往位于奥斯汀的全食公司总部。

午餐:标准的“全食餐”
作为全美最大的生鲜连锁超市的CEO,比歇尔当然也有一些“特殊福利”。
“我工作的地方楼下就是奥斯汀最好的吃饭的地方之一,也就是我们的旗舰店。”他一下楼就可以到全食超市的豪华沙拉吧里给自己定制一份午餐。

他对《财富》表示,他的早餐和午餐通常都是素食。“我很重视每顿饭吃什么,我也会看到它是如何影响我的表现、我的快乐、我的健康甚至是我的睡眠的。”
下午 6:00:比歇尔一般会在下午 6 点前结束工作,然后在健身房进行当天的第二次锻炼,有时也会简单散散步以“保持活力”。然后他会到全食超市进行第二轮采购。晚餐他会选择补充一些动物蛋白。
午夜12点:为了保证“雷打不动的6小时睡眠”,比歇尔每晚会读一本书,然后在12点前睡觉。
桑拿和冷水浴
美国商界有不少CEO颇为迷信洗冷水澡。比歇尔也非常推崇一套他已经坚持了好几年的沐浴方案。首先是蒸 30 分钟的桑拿,然后用冷热水交替洗澡两到三轮,每轮3分钟,最后再以冷水浴结束。
“虽然洗冷水澡的时候,你会觉得很难受。但过后你的身体会有一种很奇妙的感觉。”
丰富的生活

不工作的时候,比歇尔喜欢旅行,与朋友进行户外徒步,看体育比赛 ,或者在奥斯汀当地看现场音乐表演。“我认为这样的生活就很丰富了。”
“对我来说,这已经足够让我充分休息并且照顾好自己了。”(财富中文网)

The CEO of Whole Foods Market doesn’t believe in skimping on PTO.
Jason Buechel, 46, took the top job in 2022, just five years after Amazon bought the high-end grocer for over $13.7 billion.
As chief executive, Buechel works on a tight schedule consisting of frequent business travel and a “minimum of 10 meetings per day”—but that doesn’t stop him from taking care of himself.
“I highly prioritize PTO,” Buechel tells Fortune in a recent interview. “So I do use all of my allocation each year.”
Whole Foods Market’s team members accrue PTO based on seniority and years spent at the company, but regardless of how many vacation days one has, Buechel emphasizes using all of it to “replenish, relax, and unwind.”
“It’s one of the things we’ve changed within Whole Foods Market,” Buechel says, referring to the company’s previous PTO policy, which allowed employees to cash out their unused vacation hours.
But the scheme often ended with employees opting out of their hard-earned time off, which Buechel believes can be detrimental to one’s mental health. Under a Whole Foods Reddit thread, an employee calculated that one team member was bound to earn up to $26,000 because of 2,000 unused PTO hours.
To ensure staff are taking vacations away from work, Whole Foods Market’s new policy places a cap on how many hours can be banked, which Buechel argues “really forces people to make sure they are taking PTO…and ultimately having a great work-life balance.”
Skimping on taking PTO is a trend seen across corporate America. A 2023 survey by CalendarLabs found that 80% of employees felt guilty about taking PTO, and 38% of U.S. workers did not use all their time off.
Buechel is bucking the trend and makes a point to “always ask” his team members about what they’ve planned for their next vacation.
“I think it’s important for me to help set that example,” he says. This principle helps Buechel lead a balanced life, and he gave Fortune an exclusive look into his daily routine and wellness habits.
Whole Foods Market CEO’s daily routine
6:00 a.m.: After waking up “no later than” 6 a.m., Buechel does what most of us are guilty of.
“First thing I’m typically doing is, I hate to say it, I’m checking my phone,” he tells Fortune.
After skimming through his email inbox, he ventures out on a morning run that averages around five to six miles.
The Whole Foods CEO has run six marathons.
The Whole Foods chief, who has also completed six marathons, “loves” finishing his workouts with a smoothie breakfast consisting of mushroom, vegan, and vanilla protein powder, plus oatmeal, bananas, peanut butter, and chia seeds.
8:00 a.m.: Work begins with attending to more emails, catching up on news, or listening to a podcast while he gets ready to commute to Whole Foods Market’s headquarters in Austin.
A lunch of “whole foods”
Being the CEO of one of the biggest grocery stores in the country comes with its perks.
“I happen to work above one of the best places to eat in Austin, which is our flagship store,” says Buechel, which makes it easy for him to walk down and pick his own lunch from the grocer’s lavish salad bar.
“I really care about what I’m putting in my body,” he tells Fortune, noting that he typically eats a vegan diet for breakfast and lunch. “I ultimately see how it impacts my performance, my happiness, my well-being, and even my sleep.”
6:00 p.m.: Buechel wraps up work by 6 p.m., unwinding with a second workout session at the gym or a simple walk to “stay active,” followed by a second round of grocery shopping at Whole Foods to prep for a dinner consisting of animal proteins.
12:00 a.m.: To ensure “a solid six hours” of sleep, Buechel hits the hay no later than midnight, just after reading a book in bed.
Saunas and plunges
Like many CEOs who swear by the benefits of cold plunges, Buechel also touts a “great protocol hack” he started doing several years ago: 30 minutes of infrared sauna followed by two to three rounds of alternating three-minute cold and hot plunges, ending with a cold plunge.
“While the cold is definitely painful while you’re doing it,” says Buechel, “your body feels amazing afterward.”
An “enriched life”
When Buechel is not working, he’s traveling, hiking, doing outdoor challenges with friends, watching sports, or enjoying Austin’s live music scene. “I look at it as having an enriched life,” he tells Fortune.
“For me, it’s making sure I always have time to unplug and that I’m taking care of myself.”
