Deloitte’s recently released Workplace Pulse survey reveals that roughly one in three respondents (33%) do not feel comfortable taking personal time off/vacation days. Moreover, nearly one-third (32%) say they’ve consistently placed work commitments over family/personal commitments and fewer than half (48%) say their organization as a whole values their life outside work.
The survey of more than 1,000 full-time employed adults also reinforces well-being as more than just a gender or generational issue. More men than women reported that in the past 6 months they consistently placed work commitments over family/personal commitments (35% vs. 27%). In addition, Millennials are also struggling to balance work and well-being.
