I think the success of this kind of policy is really dependent on company culture. I know someone who has something like this and it works great for their company, but it's also a tech company.
I agree, it would depend on company culture - the company would have to be one that cares about it's employee welfare and does not promote working late each night. However, I suspect only a company with that mentality would adopt the policy.
The title of the post is a little misleading in my opinion, the policy wasn't a failure they just needed to focus on tracking & encouraging holiday. Which is something a company caring about it's employee welfare would realise, as Virgin did.
