Saving your leave for a rainy day? Here’s why that might be a problem.

Madeleine Dow, a management consultant, is joined by Dr. Libby Sander, a workplace behaviour expert, and Sarah McCann-Bartlett, CEO of the Australian Human Resources Institute. They highlight the alarming trend of employees hoarding about 160 million days of unused leave in Australia. The discussion dives into cultural differences in leave-taking, the importance of breaks for mental health, and how post-COVID landscapes are shifting employee demands for flexibility. All stress that supportive workplace cultures are essential for encouraging time off.
