The millionaire founder of the Carman’s muesli company has revealed staff are allowed to ‘work from holiday’ so they don’t have to take annual leave.

Carolyn Creswell, who famously bought a muesli baking company when she was an 18-year-old university student, said she encouraged staff to work shorter hours during overseas holidays.

‘We also have a work-from-holiday policy – so sometimes when people are going on holidays, we say, “If you want to work half days from holidays”, we allow them five days a year to work wherever they are in the world,’ she told the ABC’s Q+A program on Monday night.

Ms Creswell, the 50-year-old head of a $170million business empire, told Patricia Karvelas this enabled staff to travel overseas with their family without eating into their annual leave.
