Jeannette talks about the concept of "quiet vacationing," a trend that has emerged as a subtle way for individuals to take time off without formally booking annual leave.

She explores the pros and cons of quiet vacationing, discussing how it can be a beneficial approach to recharge and maintain work-life balance, but also highlighting the potential drawbacks of not fully disconnecting from work

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Quiet vacationing is a growing trend where individuals take time off without formally booking annual leave.
• Pros and cons of quiet vacationing include the ability to recharge and maintain work-life balance, but the risk of not fully recuperating if work continues during the time off.
• Leaders should ensure clear communication of holiday entitlements, encourage unplugging, monitor workload issues, and prioritise employee wellness.
• Consistency in allowing time off and adhering to legal obligations is crucial for fostering a healthy work environment.
• Setting the tone as a leader by practicing what you preach regarding taking breaks and promoting work-life balance is essential for the team's well-being.

BEST MOMENTS

"Taking that approach can be a great way to just recharge, take a little bit of time, you know, etc."

"But the reality is, if you're not taking a break, then you're at risk of burnout, right?"

"So be flexible. Very often, people want more flexibility these days."

"I think a focus on wellness is absolutely critical for your teams."
