According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apadivisions.org\/division-28\/publications\/newsletters\/psychopharmacology\/2017\/07\/vacation\">American Psychological Association<\/a>, extended time off can increase life satisfaction, improve mental wellbeing, reduce heart disease risks and reduce anxiety and depression.<\/p>\n<p>But we don\u2019t take time off!

And more than half (52%) of employees with paid leave have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zippia.com\/advice\/pto-statistics\/#:~:text=their%20time%20off.-,American%20workers%20failed%20to%20use%20768%20million%20days%20of%20PTO,up%20from%2025.9%25%20in%202017\">worked during their time off<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.replicon.com\/blog\/6-reasons-employees-dont-use-vacation-time\/\">Top reasons reported<\/a> for employees not taking time off include heavy workloads, fear of being seen as replaceable, unsupportive workplace culture and inability to disconnect. And, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nami.org\/mhstats\">one in five adults in the U.S. experiencing a mental health challenge in the average year<\/a>, now is the time for your organization to create a workplace culture that invests in paid time off and encourages employees to take it, distraction-free.<\/p>\n<p>Time off can yield tremendous dividends for your company as well as your employees. Here are five ways employee time off can benefit your business and bottom line:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u2022 Employee time off can boost productivity. <\/strong>If you\u2019re looking for a boost in productivity, employee time off can help. Whether it\u2019s catching up on sleep, practicing self-care, taking a staycation, spending quality time with family or friends or traveling, time away from the office <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zippia.com\/advice\/pto-statistics\/#:~:text=their%20time%20off.-,American%20workers%20failed%20to%20use%20768%20million%20days%20of%20PTO,up%20from%2025.9%25%20in%202017\">can help employees feel more productive, creative and relaxed<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u2022 Employee time off can help reduce absenteeism. <\/strong>Unplanned time off has been linked to stressful work environments. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Foundation reports that productivity loss linked to absenteeism <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdcfoundation.org\/pr\/2015\/worker-illness-and-injury-costs-us-employers-225-billion-annually#:~:text=The%20Centers%20for%20Disease%20Control,States%2C%20or%20%241%2C685%20per%20employee.\">cost employers $225.8 billion annually in the United States, or $1,685 per employee<\/a>. To help prevent unscheduled employee absences, start by offering your employees a paid time off (PTO) program that includes paid vacation time, sick leave and family leave.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u2022 Employee time off can improve employees\u2019 mental health. <\/strong>Mental wellbeing affects all aspects of a person\u2019s life, from personal relationships to job performance. And employee burnout has been on the rise since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to reduced performance and productivity, mood changes or increased absenteeism.<\/li>\n<li>Organizations looking for ways to improve employee mental wellbeing should consider offering <a style=\"font-size: 15px;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org\/population-focused-modules\/workplace\/\">Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) at Work<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\"> training. This training program teaches participants how to notice and support an individual who may be experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge or crisis in a work environment and connect them with appropriate employee and community resources. It also teaches the value of incorporating self-care practices into your personal and professional life.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u2022 Employee time off can help with employee acquisition and retention.<\/strong> Today there\u2019s a surge of employees focused on creating and maintaining work-life balance. Offering PTO, and wellness or mental health days, as part of an employee benefits package is one competitive way to attract and retain employees. It\u2019s even more attractive when the organizational culture actively encourages employees to use their PTO.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u2022 Employee time off can improve company culture. <\/strong>When you encourage your employees, no matter their job title, to take quality time off from work, and they take it, it can only result in a positive transformation and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apadivisions.org\/division-28\/publications\/newsletters\/psychopharmacology\/2017\/07\/vacation\">advantages<\/a> for your company. Start by having managers and leaders check in with their teams to see if they are planning to take time off soon and to remind them of your organization&#8217;s PTO policy. Even better, having leadership, like yourself, model the act of taking time off without distraction, and respecting employees\u2019 out of office status by not sending communications to them while away (i.e., after work hours, during time off, etc.). This will in turn create a positive workplace culture that empowers your employees to role model this behavior.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>To learn more about MHFA at Work, visit <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org\/population-focused-modules\/workplace\/\"><strong>MHFA.org\/workplace<\/strong><\/a><strong> and complete the inquiry form<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Learn more about how you can support your employees\u2019 mental wellbeing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org\/2022\/05\/why-employers-should-invest-in-employee-mental-wellbeing\/\">\u2022 Why Employers Should Invest in Employee Mental Wellbeing<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org\/2021\/03\/stress-anxiety-depression-what-it-looks-like-at-work-and-how-to-provide-support\/\">\u2022 Stress, Anxiety, Depression: What it Looks Like at Work and How to Provide Support<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org\/2019\/02\/10-tips-for-building-a-resilient-workforce\/\">\u2022 10 Tips for Building a Resilient Workforce<\/a><\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>References<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kolmar, Chris.
