Recent research indicates that vacations positively impact employee well-being, beginning before the trip and lasting beyond return. Evidence shows awaycations enhance well-being more than staycations. Longer vacations boost well-being, but their effects diminish quickly, while shorter vacations maintain benefits longer. A critical factor is psychological detachment from work, which may be less achievable with staycations. Workers often neglect vacation days, leading to lost benefits, emphasizing the importance of utilizing paid time off and unplugging from work during vacations to maximize benefits.
Vacations do indeed increase employee well-being after returning to work, with positive effects lasting longer than previously thought; however, they must be done right.
The most encouraging finding is that vacation actually does increase employees' sense of well-being, beginning before the vacation and tapering off after returning home.
Evidence suggests spending vacation time away from home has a stronger positive effect on well-being, compared to staycations.
Longer vacations tend to increase employee well-being, but their positive effects fade out quickly; shorter vacations tend to keep benefits longer.
