55% of American workers don’t use all of their annual paid time off because of “corporate culture”
More than half of American do not use their allotted paid time off. That’s according to the U.S. Travel Association, which revealed that in 2018, 768 million vacation days went unused across the country. The association blames North American “corporate culture.” Or the belief that taking too much time off as harmful to one’s career, or potential for professional advancement.
But experts say rest and relaxation is critical. Not only for workers but for their companies too. “Offering a strong paid time off (PTO) policy is not only a benefit but also a strategic need for companies looking to draw and keep top personnel in today’s competitive employment market. In addition to fostering work-life balance and employee satisfaction, a well-crafted PTO strategy also boosts overall productivity and organizational success,” explains the OrangeHRM site.
