More than two-thirds of employees in America do not plan to use all of their vacation this year, according to a recent survey by Right Management.
The report, which surveyed 814 employees throughout North America in an online poll, found that as many as 70 percent said they would not take all their allotted vacation time, while 30 percent said they would.
“The perceived workplace culture that prevails at many organizations seems to recognize devotion to the job to the exclusion of almost all else,” Right Management Senior Vice President Michael Haid said in a statement. “Whether this culture is real or imagined, employees everywhere are forsaking vacations and even family time for the primacy of work. If there’s no balance in people’s lives there will
soon be resentment and health problems.“

The findings are consistent with the 2009 survey when it was found that two-thirds of employees did not take all vacation time due them.
