Does unlimited paid time off actually work?

Paul Wolfe, SVP and Head of HR at Indeed, a jobs site and recruitment aggregator, believes that many workers aren’t unplugging from work when they’re on vacation.

For workers worried that they’re the only one addicted to their work inbox whilst away, Wolfe says don’t worry: you’re not alone, the problem is widespread.

Citing an Indeed Study which found that half of full-time adults don’t use up their annual vacation entitlement, Wolfe reckons that the issue of staff being unable to unwind is increasingly pervasive.

To combat this worrying trend – and, to get “rested, empowered and motivated employees” – Indeed are promoting a new Paid Time Off initiative.
