The article emphasizes the importance of taking time off for mental, physical, and emotional health, referencing a Harvard Business Review article on the benefits of vacationing to prevent burnout. Despite this, many U.S. employees, particularly millennials, are reluctant to use their paid time off (PTO) and increasingly opt for 'workcations'—traveling while still working remotely. This trend has grown significantly, with a 49% increase in searches for 'workcations.' While providing a change of scenery, the article cautions that workcations should not replace true time off.
Taking time off to rest and recharge is crucial to your mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Employees, however, often hesitate to use their allotted PTO.
Half of American workers are hesitant to use their paid time off, and one in three millennials engage in 'quiet vacationing,' traveling without notifying their employers.
While 'workcations' allow for some relaxation during work hours, they should not be seen as a substitute for genuine time off.
Searches for 'workcations' have surged by 49% since February, highlighting a growing trend among workers looking for ways to blend work and relaxation.
