You will explore the health benefits of vacation time and the tools/programs you can implement to encourage your employees to take their earned vacation time off. 

This session will discuss the health and wellness benefits of vacation time by examining Nielsen survey findings and will help you understand about vacation liability and the financial impact it has on businesses when employees don't take vacations. In this session, we will:

·         Explore the financial implications unused vacation time has on businesses and how you can avoid that pitfall
          by encouraging employees to take their vacations.

·         Learn about a national dialogue Diamond created around the importance of vacation time through their
          “Vacation Commitment Initiative” with TakeBackYourTime.org, and learn how you can take the first step in fostering a
          vacation-positive environment. 

·         Explore initiatives Diamond has implemented to encourage team members to take all of their vacation time
          and how your executives can do the same within your organizations.

·         Understand the tools and resources you can implement to encourage employees to take their earned vacation time
          which ultimately results in increased work productivity and employee morale and ensures employees live a healthier, happier life.
