Summer is a great time for employees to take time away from work to rest, refresh, and reset. However, today's reality reveals many disturbing habits surrounding time off and lack of disconnection from work.

- 61% of workers are bothered by colleagues
- 46% struggle to disconnect from work
- 35% feel pressured to work
- 67% admit to working
