Why holidays are good for workers and bosses, and making time off count
Briefly

Research from the University of Georgia indicates that taking time off can greatly enhance employee well-being and performance. As job demands and stress increase, many feel reluctant to take vacations for fear of missing out on promotions. However, the study emphasizes the importance of self-care, suggesting that stepping away from work can ultimately lead to better performance. The positive effects of holidays appear to extend well beyond the time off, making it crucial for both employers and employees to recognize the value of breaks.
Workers everywhere savour the few days or weeks of each year they are able to take away from their workplace, whether it is spent relaxing on a beach or just chilling on their sofa.
Job demands and job stress are on the rise. But people think that they can't take time off because they don't want to look bad or lose out on an opportunity for promotion.
