Samantha Seabrook, owner of Seabrook Workplace Law, emphasizes the importance of work-life balance, especially for remote workers who may not take vacation. She shared concerns about a lawyer who had minimal time off in 2024, highlighting that high performers often overlook their need for downtime. Seabrook advocates for employers to actively monitor employees' vacation habits, stating the need for genuine unplugging from work. A recent poll revealed that remote workers take significantly less vacation time, prompting Seabrook to reach out to others about this vital issue.
If I had not been paying attention, he would have just kept going. Because high performers do that.
I believe that having quality time off - an extended period of time disconnected from work - is absolutely essential.
It can also reduce employers' oversight, meaning that high-achieving staff members could be burning out without their bosses realizing it.
I felt strongly that other remote workers might not be taking the vacation time that they should.
