Taking Time Away From Work is Important!
By: Guest Blogger Karen Wade, assistant vice president, Human Resources
Some of you may know that Neil is on vacation this week and in his
absence, I’m guest blogging. Seeing as Neil has taken paid time off (PTO), I thought
it appropriate to write more about the importance of taking time away from
work.
Each year, as benefits-eligible associates, we’re all given a specific
amount of time to take away from work for personal and family matters. Don’t
forget, it’s also beneficial to our health and well being that we escape work
sometimes.
By taking time away from work, we give ourselves a chance to relax and
recharge. And when we recharge, we’re ready to take on work when it’s time to
be back. It makes us more efficient, less stressed and calmer to take on
complicated projects.
Next summer, my husband and I would like to take one of my dream
vacations and stay at Atlantis in the Bahamas. Our daughter graduates from the
eighth grade and we’ll be celebrating this achievement. Planning time off for a
vacation like this will be exciting and something for me and my family to look
forward to!
So, whether it’s a beach vacation or a “staycation,” make sure to plan
time for yourself, your family and friends.
