Many years ago, I came across a headline in a newspaper that proclaimed - India is a vacation-deprived country. The title of the survey itself is quite revealing - Expedia Vacation Deprivation Survey.
Despite the fact that 78 percent of employers support vacations,
53 percent of Indians take fewer vacation days than they are entitled to,
68 percent of Indians ultimately cancel their vacations due to work pressures,
19 percent fear they will be perceived as less committed,
25 percent concerned about missing out on key decision-making, and
18 percent operating under the assumption that successful people do not take breaks!
As the rise of hustle culture and the always-on workplace continues to reshape professional expectations, it is important to utilize the resources available for your well-being... the easiest of which are your leaves and weekends!
Have a good weekend!
