Now Listen to your Executive Coach - Get your Staff to Schedule THEIR Vacations

Hopefully you've starting at least thinking about taking some time off before too much more time passes. If so, good for you. If not, please reconsider. Remember, as the year progresses, it's only going to get more crazy. So even if you know that you want to take your vacation later in the year, submit whatever approval forms you need to get if officially approved so you can put it in your calendar to schedule around.

That being said, it's now time to turn your attention to your staff and their vacation plans ... or lack thereof.

I believe that bosses encourage (tacitly or otherwise) employees NOT to schedule their vacation. Are you one of those bosses?

Don't be.

I was talking with one my company's Human Resource managers about taking time off from work. She remarked that in her division of about 1900 individuals 30% of available vacation time was taken last fiscal year. Our coporate culture makes it difficult for people to feel comfortable with taking vacation time.

I personally have had people remark to me "Oh you off on that day?" And there is an underlying subtext in their comment.

I do try and take time off - if it is a mental health day.
