A new national survey examines why US workers are increasingly hesitant to use paid time off to check out of work when they're sick or simply need a mental health recovery day.
While aearlier this year found that employed workers ranked paid time off for vacations, medical visits and minor illnesses as their most important job benefit, it turns out only about half of those folks end up using that time. And among those who don't, half say they're afraid if they used more paid time off, they'd fall too far behind on job responsibilities.unveils that there are even more factors, and disconnects, at play when it comes to why U.S.
BambooHR's head of human resources, Anita Grantham, said employees' internal feelings of anxiety or guilt over taking time off as well as overt direction to work through sickness are both telltales of business leadership gone awry. But, those aspirations for clarity run into a wall in employees' lived reality, with 75% of workers telling BambooHR that their company has unspoken rules about using sick time.
Possibly picking up on their managers' suspicions, 40% of workers feel insecure taking sick time because others may assume they're faking it.
