Solving the Vacation Dilemma
At 401(play), we’re addressing a growing issue: employees aren’t taking their much-needed vacations. Every year, millions of vacation days go unused, leading to burnout and decreased productivity. Our mission is simple: help employees prioritize rest by making vacation planning and saving easier than ever.
We created 401(play) to empower employees with a company-backed Vacation Funding Account, where they can set aside savings for their next dream getaway. This innovative benefit not only promotes health and well-being but also strengthens company culture by showing employees they are truly valued.
401(play) combines FDIC-insured savings with an intuitive planning platform, allowing employees to budget, plan, and book trips in one place. By prioritizing travel, companies build a happier, more productive workforce.
About 401(play)
At 401(play), we’re on a mission to solve one of the costliest challenges facing employers today: Employee burnout and retention.
Our founders witnessed first-hand how thousands of vacation days go unused each year – not because employees don’t want to travel, but because they lack the structure and support to make it happen. The result? Millions in lost productivity and skyrocketing turnover costs.
We created 401(play) to change that.
By combining payroll-integrated vacation savings with an optional company match and an all-in-one planning and booking platform, we’ve built the first true Vacation Benefit Plan, a turnkey solution that fits seamlessly into existing benefits packages without adding vendor complexity.
For benefits brokers and HR leaders, 401(play) represents something rare: A benefit that employees genuinely love while delivering measurable ROI through improved retention and engagement. We’re a growing team with proven traction, driven by the belief that when companies invest in their people’s well-being, everyone wins.
Our vision is simple: Make travel the benefit employees brag about AND the investment employers never regret.
