Is Vacation Time More Trouble Than It's Worth?
Episode description
Join Andi and Kat as they talk about the dark side of what you always hope to be the “best weeks” of your year!
Using your PTO is meant to provide rest and recuperation, an opportunity to connect with others, get stuff done, or at the very least, be away from your daily work routine. Rarely do we talk about the disruption and hassle of taking time off, how it can impact our colleagues and how much work it creates for ourselves. Kat and Andi talk about the realities of our time away from work and how we can better plan for and work together in making the most of it. If we want to truly benefit from being OOO, we need to be intentional about it! Kat and Andi share their thoughts on:
- How important it is to get the most from your time off
- How hard it can be for those still in the office
- Ideas for how to better plan and work with others to make your time off count…for everyone
- The importance of leveraging time away as the opportunity it really is
We’d love to hear your thoughts on this episode. What’s your experience with time out of the office? How do you prepare for and return from your time away? Are you one of those who can’t let go of your work and relax? How can you and those you work with make the most of everyone’s PTO?
