Benefits for Employees
Wellness
Achieving that work-life balance comes with improved physical and mental well-being. No one likes feeling run down and tired so make sure you set aside time to re-charge.
Job satisfaction
Avoid the stress related to exhaustion and burn out. Achieve greater job satisfaction and enjoyment, as you approach your role in a refreshed state.
Relationships
Take the time to rediscover your friends, your family, and most importantly yourself.
Relaxation
More frequent leave will see you gain more pleasure from taking a break, rather than merely recovering from fatigue.
New experiences
There are so many great experiences to be had, take the opportunity to visit some more of Australia and gain some lasting memories as well as some great stories to share with others.
Seize the moment
After all, life is short and at the end of it all you can't take your annual leave with you.
Benefits for your Business
Financial liability
Reduce your company's financial liability by lowering the level of accrued leave. Avoid increased costs of leave in-line with salary adjustments, as well as a reduction of sick and stress leave claims.
Liability
Did you know that employers who allow staff to stockpile leave face a tax disadvantage? Accrued leave appears as a liability on employer's balance sheets, but cannot be claimed as a tax deduction until it is actually paid out.
OH&S
A well-rested workforce is likely to have less accidents and sick leave. There is increased productivity from a rested workforce taking fewer sick days, generating immediate financial benefit to the organisation.
Productivity
Healthy, well rested staff are more productive. The simple equation of hours worked = work output isn't that relevant anymore for organisations that rely on intellectual capacity and thinking on their feet.
Staff retention/Employer of choice
Organisations that have a positive work/life balance and leave culture are more likely to have a higher staff retention rate and be an employer of choice. Companies who keep the freshest, brightest and best talents on-board are likely to have a competitive advantage.
Morale
Holidays help to build positive morale which results in increased motivation in the workplace, making it a better place for everyone. A productive work force will ultimately drive the success of your business.
Economy
The Australian economy will benefit from a boost as employees take regular breaks within Australia.
