According to a recent report by Kimble Applications, quite a few employees in the United States did not take all of their allotted vacation time. Today we are joined by Kimble Application’s Mark Robinson to discuss the findings. Finally, scroll down to check out an infographic with the results.
HR Daily Advisor: First of all, are there any disadvantages to employees when they don’t use all of their vacation time?
Robinson: In my experience people tend to come back from vacation recharged and ‘refreshed’ regardless of what they did while away. Often people come back more positive, focused and ready to dive back into their work, so by not taking time off, employees risk being burned out by their work. Obviously for the personal health and well-being and that of their family it can only be good to take all your vacation allowance.
