Compounding the problem, many higher level managers have convinced themselves that they couldn't possibly take all their vacation days because no one else could do their job and that things will fall apart if they are gone.

A: Around this time of year questions about vacations loom large. Taking a break from work is a real priority in fact, some employees value this time off more than money. Recently, Xerox Corp. offered employees the opportunity to "buy" an extra week's vacation by having a week's pay be deducted over the course of the year, a trade-off that would trim their checks by about 2 percent. Seven percent of Xerox's 29,000 U.S. employees chose time over money.
However, as we often hear in the news, the U.S. does not fare well in this arena in comparison to other countries. Ours is the only advanced economy in the world that does not oblige employers to offer paid time off to employees. One out of four employees in the private sector do not have any paid time off, according to a new study by the Center for Economic and Policy Research; that adds up to about 28 million Americans.
In addition, many of us that do have vacation time do not use it all. A recent survey by employment firm Hudson reports that more than 50 percent of Americans fail to use all their vacation days. And last month BusinessWeek reported that "Americans take even less vacation than the Japanese, the people who gave rise to karoshi the phenomenon of being worked to death."
The most frequently cited reasons for why Americans do not use all their vacation days include job pressures and having too much work to do. In addition, we shouldn't forget the subtle (and not-so-subtle) discouragement of employees by some managers to not use all their vacation days, as it disrupts the workflow. New employees are especially susceptible, as they fear that if they do use all their vacation time, they will be viewed as less committed.

After getting your work in print, definitely savor your success -- you've earned it -- but don't sit and savor too long. You need to get your name out there and the way to do it is by producing good work that will appeal to your audience.Here are a few ways to do it:- If you've written a nonfiction book, see if you can't expand one or more of its chapters into an article (or two or three).- Adapt your subject to a different audience. If your article or book was intended for men, for example, try adapting it to women or young adults.- Explore a different aspect of your subject and become an expe

I recently received a letter from someone who has been married for a number of years. The letter described a couple who has gradually drifted away from each other. They sounded like great parents but their marriage had grown cold. The writer ended the letter with a request for a suggestion to rekindle the romance within the marriage.Usually, stories like this start with unresolved resentments and feelings of hurt. When conflicts arise and the issues are not clearly addressed, the couple will begin to put distance between each other. This process can occur rapidly or gradually over time. The couple may present

Owning a home in Florida and Georgia is something we all dream about. Almost all of us, at some points of time, have put buying a home in our agendas, although not many of us have succeeded in owning up a home. This is primarily because of the expenses. In fact, it is not possible for any common person to buy a home with this savings/income, making financial assistance the only and the best alternative.The very idea behind banks and financial institutions offering home loans, mortgage loans is the help the common man realize his dream of owning a home. These loans are not only simple, but come in variety of plans t

More control over their time off is exactly what the employees of Maine-based GreenPages, a national IT solutions provider, get.
