3. Origins & Corporate Evolution
- Academic Roots: The term originates from the Hebrew word for the Sabbath (a day of rest). It started in academia, where professors traditionally received extended paid leave every seven years to study and research.
- Corporate Shifts: Major companies adapted the concept (beginning with McDonald's in 1977). Today, a rising number of businesses and tech companies offer formal sabbatical programs to prevent employee burnout and encourage retention.
