全球假期最长国家 Ten Countries with the longest vacation

2013-07-31来源:互联网

In its review of the 30 countries surveyed, online reservation site Hotels.com found that Russians enjoy 40 days off throughout the year. The US gets 20 days off, while Canada is second to last on the list with an entitlement of just 15 days vacation time. At the other end of the spectrum, meanwhile, Mexicans get a paltry 13 days off.
在线酒店预订网站Hotels.com在其针对30个国家所做的调查中发现,俄罗斯人一年有长达40天的假期。美国人一年的假期是20天,同为北美人的加拿大人则只有15天,排名倒数第二。倒数第一是墨西哥人,一年只有13天假期。

Meanwhile, a slew of studies have shown that productivity actually increases in proportion to vacation time taken, serving to recharge employees’ batteries and re-enter the workplace with a renewed sense of purpose. It’s a concept that some companies have taken a step further in the US. Companies such as IBM and Netflix, for instance, have tossed the standard two-week vacation policy in the US and implemented an open, unlimited vacation program in an effort to prevent staff burnout in a country where employees get so little time off.
此前已有不少研究发现,生产力与假期长短成正比,休假可以给人充电,让人斗志昂扬地回到工作岗位。在美国,一些公司进一步发挥了这一理念。如IBM及Netflix公司,它们推翻了通行的2星期年假制度,改为实行开放式的无限期休假制,以避免员工身心疲劳。
