In today’s hectic working world, the unused holiday epidemic is escalating.
In Breathe’s recent holiday report, only a third of workers use all their holiday days, and nearly one-fifth have 5+ unused days annually. On top of this, despite taking time off, 57% of employees admit to working during their annual leave, leading to exhaustion, worry, and poor mental health.
With the right to disconnect legislation coming from the Labour government, it’s crucial for employers, SMEs, and HR to adopt best practices now.
