Thirty-four per cent of Malaysians haven’t been on a vacation for the past six months and those surveyed said affordability was the main factor while planning a vacation with 27 per cent of respondents said they felt the need to save up on their leave for a long holiday. When they do get to enjoy that well-earned holiday, Malaysians surveyed said they felt guilty about leaving their work behind.At least 28 per cent checked work-related emails and messages at least once a day during vacation and 64 per cent said they have even cancelled their holidays because of work.
The benefits of a holiday were reflected in 55 per cent of Malaysians who claimed to observe a more positive attitude to work while 49 per cent felt more relaxed and focused. “The short-term gains for giving oneself a break — even if it’s one day out of the office — can make a big difference in terms of reestablishing a better sense of well-being,” said Lavinia.
Only 39 per cent of Malaysians fully utilise their annual leave, 61 per cent took fewer days than what they were entitled to.
