26、ou typically give two weeks notice. But at KIND Healthy Snacks they do things differently. Founder and CEO Daniel Lubetzky asks employees, whom he calls “team members,” for at least two months, and in some cases two years notice.

27、 they leave. It may sound extreme, unrealistic even, to ask for two months notice or two years notice from those who work with him directly but his reasoning makes perfect sense. “We call the KIND team a family, so major life transitions (轉(zhuǎn)變) like changing jobs arent meant to be kept in secret until

28、 the last minute,” Lubetzky tells Business Insider. “No one should be scared to talk about whats next for them.” “I would rather a team member come to me months in advance, letting me know what will be happening in their life,” he says, “whether it is a baby on the way, a relocation for personal rea

29、sons, or a plan to go back to school.” Lubetzky doesnt expect his employees to accept a job elsewhere and ask the new employer to delay their start date by two months or two years.
