Employees need a break — and they feel they need their employer’s approval to take one.
During COVID, employees left 33% of their vacation days unused, and 92% canceled a vacation they had planned, according to the U.S. Travel Association. Even pre-pandemic, nearly 768 million days of vacation time went unused. While travel opportunities are opening back up, employees are still cautious about hitting the road: 30% say they are foregoing vacation this year, according to personal finance site Nerdwallet.
