Applications open Thursday for the new sabbatical program and a separate initiative to help veteran agency leaders plan their future in D.C. government.
“Sabbatical programs do in fact often lead to greater retention,” Donahue added. “Someone without a sabbatical may find they have to leave to really engage in that self-care or that professional development opportunity.”
Zeilinger, 50, oversees several of the city’s homelessness services and prevention efforts, as well as benefit programs such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. In an interview, she said she remains passionate about the Human Services Department’s efforts toward closing income gaps and reducing poverty, but as of late, she’s felt “increased signs of burnout.
Donahue said he does not expect a “significant number” of eligible Cabinet members to leave the administration or take a sabbatical. Those approved for sabbaticals will be permitted to take them between Thursday and the end of this calendar year — an intentional effort to avoid overlap with the District’s annual budget process and associated hearings, which typically run from January through March.
