Australian workers hoard more than 160 million days of untaken leave. So could you be forced to take a break?

Nov 13, 2024 | phys.org | Libby Sander

With the end of year holidays looming, it's easy to imagine Australians are getting ready to check out of the workplace and head for the beach. But a recent survey shows Australians are not taking holidays nearly as often as they are entitled to.

With the end of year holidays looming, it’s easy to imagine Australians are getting ready to check out of the workplace and head for the beach. But a recent survey shows Australians are not taking holidays nearly as often as they are entitled to. The survey of more than 1,000 Australian workers, taken from July to September 2024, has found that employees have 160 million days of annual leave banked.
Three-quarters of Australian workers think now is a good time to change jobs. This is what managers can do better to keep them

Jun 12, 2024 | theconversation.com | Libby Sander

Australian workers are more likely than those elsewhere to be planning to change jobs, with 74% reporting now is a good time to look for a new position, compared to 52% globally. In addition, only 25% of workers report feeling engaged or committed to their company’s goals, according to the Gallup State of the Global Workplace 2024 report released on Wednesday.
How to improve indoor air quality and breathe easier

Apr 25, 2024 | bizcommunity.com | Kate Ferreira |Libby Sander

Indoor air can be way more polluted than outdoor air. Luckily, air-conditioning systems can help safeguard your health. As we go about our daily lives, we often overlook a critical aspect of our well-being: the quality of the air we breathe. When we do think about the air we’re breathing, we often focus on outdoor pollution from vehicles and factories. What many people don’t realise is that the air inside our homes can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air.
Stress levels in Australian workplaces among the highest as we battle constant interruptions and irritating colleagues

Oct 23, 2023 | dailybulletin.com.au | Libby Sander

As more companies mandate the amount of time to be spent in the office, employee stress levels are on the rise. A recent study found 34% of employees reported lower mental health levels compared to six months ago. Alarmingly, 37% also reported decreased levels of engagement and sense of belonging. So why might the return to the office be increasing employee stress?

Why unlimited annual leave can’t solve the unprecedented rate of workplace burnout

Sep 10, 2023 | smartcompany.com.au | Libby Sander

On days when I’ve literally disappeared under a pile of administration (today actually), I dream of hiking Japan’s 1000-year-old Unesco heritage-listed Kumano Kodo trail. Not just on days when I am doing admin, to be honest. But it takes around nine days. Many Japanese don’t take enough annual leave to do the trek. To try and combat this issue, in 2019 the government introduced a law that sees employers face penalties if their employees don’t take a minimum of five days of leave a year.
Four-day or four-hour work week? Rethinking what we really want

Aug 14, 2023 | smartcompany.com.au | Libby Sander

It’s been 15 years since the publication of Tim Ferriss’s multi-million New York Times bestseller, The 4-Hour Work Week. The book both delighted and left us confused. We fantasised about the possibility but wondered how we could possibly transition our existing work week into only four hours. But despite the title, Ferriss commented that it was never about working only four hours a week. Instead, the book shone a light on a work existence that leaves so many despairing.
From Tokyo to New York: What the future cities of work look like

Jul 24, 2023 | smartcompany.com.au | Libby Sander

Amongst the fraught arguments on post-pandemic work flexibility is an underlying fear. What will happen to our cities if workers only go to the office a few days a week? Humans have flocked to cities for centuries prior to the industrial age birth of the modern office tower. “A great city is an inventory of the possible.” wrote Rene Descartes in the 17th century. A city is a place where the ability to create a range of different futures for ourselves is made manifest.
