Why has switching off from work become so difficult?
In this episode of PeopleScope, we explore the rising culture of “always on” — from leavism (working on holiday) to quiet vacationing (taking secret time off). We look at why boundaries are breaking down, what it costs employees and organisations, and whether a proposed Right to Switch Off law could actually solve the problem.
Expect insights on:
Why nearly 60% of workers now work while on holiday
How “quiet vacationing” signals deeper cultural issues
The role leadership plays in shaping boundaries

🎧 Tune in to understand why boundaries at work matter more than ever.
