It’s no secret that employees are constantly struggling to find that perfect balance between work and well-being. But navigating those waters can be challenging—many are being forced to comply with return-to-office mandates, using their vacation days to run errands, and generally struggling with burnout.
That sense of burnout is leading employees to say no when it comes to taking on extra work. Around 65% of workers feel empowered to decline additional responsibilities in the workplace, according to a new report from Resume Now, a job-seeking site. Younger employees, classified as 25 and under, are the group most likely to decline extra work, with 77% reporting that they feel empowered to say no.
