Innovative. Productive. Engaged. Every employee strives to define themselves with these three words, every manager wants a team that embodies them, and every company wants their culture to exemplify them. There is one super-charged benefit your company may not be maximizing that can inspire each member of your team—and the company as a whole—to achieve them all.

Vacation time.

When it comes to recruiting, motivating, and retaining employees, vacation time is among the best tools you have; in fact, vacation time is the second most important predictor of employee satisfaction.¹ Employees who take vacations report feeling more innovative, more productive, and more engaged when they return to the office, and 84% of managers report their team is more creative and more focused when they use their paid time off.²

Vacation time is valued by and beneficial for employees, but in 2017 more than 700 million vacation days went unused in the USA. Even worse, almost half of people who took a vacation reported feeling guilty for taking paid time off. With fears of disappointing a boss or colleagues, missing deadlines, and appearing uncommitted, workers are more inclined than ever to forego time off in favor of more time in the office. Without time to relax and engage away from the workplace, we become not disconnected from work but disconnected from the perspectives and experiences that help us create, achieve, and focus.

If you want an innovative, productive, engaged company, you need to foster a vacation culture.

To foster a vacation culture, you need the Business of Vacation^™ workshop.
