Millennials and Gen Z are reshaping workplace dynamics, particularly when it comes to time off. Recent research conducted by The Harris Poll Thought Leadership Practice sheds light on the evolving attitudes toward paid time off (PTO) among American workers.

Despite being entitled to more PTO days, a significant portion of the workforce, approximately 78%, expresses hesitancy in utilizing their full allocation. This reluctance is especially prevalent among younger employees, with 89% of Gen Z and 83% of millennials expressing concerns about taking time off due to heavy workloads and fear of falling behind.
