Vizzuality playbook in progress
This project is maintained by Vizzuality
Our benefits are part of a great career opportunity with the potential for you to grow and work in something with a massive transformational purpose.
We strongly believe in the importance of wellbeing, leisure and rest, as well as having a good integration between time to work and time for everything else. We also believe that more time off will improve Vizzuality as a whole because people will be more productive and will have a better quality of life.
26 Days (plus your local bank holidays)
1 extra day for your birthday
Additional “Sustainable Travel Days” to encourage greener modes of transportation
When you get to complete 5 years working at Vizz, we will be recognising this important milestone, and we will add 3 more days to your holiday allowance…forever.
Growth is what keeps organisms alive. Growth is vital to any organization committed to improving itself. Without growth and the development of the individual, there will be no development of the organization.
Training allowance of 1500 €/year for courses, workshops, conferences, volunteering, innovation and creativity projects, or meetups of your choice, including travel and lodging. (More information)
When you reach 10 years at Vizz you will get a “4 Weeks Paid Sabbatical”. A sabbatical leave at Vizzuality is “a break from work” for you to grow and develop, and it will be granted to people after they complete 10 years working at Vizzuality as a way of recognising this important milestone in their career and in the organisation.

At Vizzuality, we have come a long way to implement initiatives to empower both mothers and fathers to be competent at home and skilled workers, whilst enabling women and men to have a balanced and meaningful life inside and outside home.
At some point in our lives we will all have someone to care for and/or who is dependent on us. It might be a new born baby, a child at school, or maybe one of our elders or family members who needs support from us.
To reduce barriers to care and caregiving, everyone at Vizzuality with the responsibility of supporting a dependent person, will receive extra days for caregiving.
Depending on the dependent person you are caring for, you will be entitled to the following:
0 - 3 years old, and/or dependents with disabilities (ie. family members, elders) = 3 extra days a year
3 - 6 years old = 2 extra days a year
6 - 18 years old = 1 extra day a year
What’s the process to get this benefit? You will have to request it in Bamboo as with other types of leave.
What is a dependent person? A dependent person relies on someone else to provide the basic necessities of life, autonomy and/or for support (ie. financial, emotional, mental, physical, extreme advanced age) and can include new born babies, children, elders or other relatives.
What is a basic necessity of life? Those most elementary tasks that allow a person to live a life with a minimum of autonomy and independence, such as: personal care, basic house chores/tasks, essential mobility, recognise people and objects, orient themselves, understand and execute orders and/or simple tasks.
I am not sure if this applies to me? Let’s talk. If you have any questions in regards to how this benefit could be applicable for your specific case and/or how it could be integrated with other initiatives we currently have at Vizz (ie. unpaid leave), please feel free to reach out.
Is this benefit “per employee” or “per dependent”? The benefit is per employee, per year and it’s not cumulative. In other words, if you have 2 kids (ie. 2 and 4 years old), you will get an annual allocation of 3 days (and not 5 days = 3 + 2).
(For now this benefit is only applicable to people in Spain)
