Russians enjoy twice as much vacation time as Americans reveals a newly released survey ranking countries with the most holidays。
In its review of the 30 countries surveyed, online reservation site Hotels.com found that Russians enjoy 40 days off throughout the year。
The US gets 20 days off, while Canada is second to last on the list with an entitlement of just 15 days vacation time. At the other end of the spectrum, meanwhile, Mexicans get a paltry 13 days off。
Meanwhile, a slew of studies have shown that productivity actually increases in proportion to vacation time taken, serving to recharge employees’ batteries and re-enter the workplace with a renewed sense of purpose。
It’s a concept that some companies have taken a step further in the US. Companies such as IBM and Netflix, for instance, have tossed the standard two-week vacation policy in the US and implemented an open, unlimited vacation program in an effort to prevent staff burnout in a country where employees get so little time off。
Here are the top 10 countries which enjoy the most time off (days off total includes both annual leave and public holidays):
1. Russia 40 days off
2. Italy 36
2. Sweden 36
4. Finland 35
4. France 35
4. Norway 35
4. Brazil 35
8. Denmark 34
8. Spain 34
10. Colombia 33
在線酒店預訂網站Hotels.com在其針對30個國家所做的調查中發(fā)現(xiàn),俄羅斯人一年有長達40天的假期。
美國人一年的假期是20天,同為北美人的加拿大人則只有15天,排名倒數(shù)第二。倒數(shù)第一是墨西哥人,一年只有13天假期。
此前已有不少研究發(fā)現(xiàn),生產力與假期長短成正比,休假可以給人充電,讓人斗志昂揚地回到工作崗位。
在美國,一些公司進一步發(fā)揮了這一理念。如IBM及Netflix公司,它們推翻了通行的2星期年假制度,改為實行開放式的無限期休假制,以避免員工身心疲勞。
