9
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:23.839
<v Speaker 1>known as the Millennial Manager, and we're going to talk

10
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:26.640
<v Speaker 1>about something really important. There are people who are not

11
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:29.719
<v Speaker 1>taking enough vacation time, and we should get out in

12
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:31.800
<v Speaker 1>vacation and we should do that more often, shouldn't we?

13
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Roxy?

14
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:33.799
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely absolutely.

15
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:36.479
<v Speaker 1>And there's people who at the end of the year,

16
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:38.840
<v Speaker 1>like here, now we're all the way into February. But

17
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:41.679
<v Speaker 1>there are people who back in twenty twenty four, they

18
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>closed out the year without even using all their vacation time,

19
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:47.439
<v Speaker 1>and then they wonder, why, hmm, I'm burned out. Well

20
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:49.439
<v Speaker 1>maybe you should just take some time off and go

21
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:52.320
<v Speaker 1>somewhere fun. So let's talk about some of the statistics,

22
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:53.600
<v Speaker 1>because it's crazy, isn't it.

23
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:56.520
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely Yeah, Yeah, let's get into it. There are a

24
00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:00.640
<v Speaker 3>number of factors of why people that keeping us from

25
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.719
<v Speaker 3>taking our vacation time in twenty twenty five. So for example,

26
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:08.319
<v Speaker 3>workload pressure, job security company culture saving that time for

27
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:14.239
<v Speaker 3>an emergency as you alluded to, And recent data shows

28
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:16.879
<v Speaker 3>that people are leaving a lot of time on the table,

29
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:20.159
<v Speaker 3>which equates to billions of lost time that could be

30
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:23.079
<v Speaker 3>used to recharge and even connect with loved ones.

31
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:24.879
<v Speaker 2>And one of the things is kind of fun.

32
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:27.599
<v Speaker 1>There's a new thing that's kind of kicking off called

33
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:30.719
<v Speaker 1>the Time Off Toolbox. And you know quite a bit

34
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:32.439
<v Speaker 1>about this. Tell me what in the world is the

35
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:33.599
<v Speaker 1>time Off Toolbox?

36
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:38.560
<v Speaker 3>Yes, absolutely so. Choice Hotels, the company that has Cambria, Radison,

37
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.519
<v Speaker 3>Country and and Suite and eighteen other brands, is helping

38
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:44.959
<v Speaker 3>to make it easy for people to take their vacation.

39
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.719
<v Speaker 3>So Choice Hotels partners with actor writer Kick and Michael

40
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:52.359
<v Speaker 3>Key to launch Choice Hotels timeof toolbox dot com. And

41
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:55.200
<v Speaker 3>the tool is felled with three OS, which is for

42
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 3>out of office, and it's filled with helpful tips, tricks

43
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:02.840
<v Speaker 3>and tools on how to maximize your time off, how

44
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:05.959
<v Speaker 3>to ask for time off. There's even a you go

45
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:08.120
<v Speaker 3>through a couple of prompts and you can even send

46
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:10.879
<v Speaker 3>a video featuring keig In to your boss. And ask

47
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:16.680
<v Speaker 3>you for that time off. And as as a millennial, yeah, yeah, absolutely,

48
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:19.199
<v Speaker 3>and as a millennial in corporate and you know, we

49
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:21.520
<v Speaker 3>need these resources. I wish we had them ten years ago.

50
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:22.080
<v Speaker 2>Listen.

51
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Now, let's talk about why it's important to take time

52
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:27.960
<v Speaker 1>off and why it's really helpful, especially for millennials, but

53
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:29.719
<v Speaker 1>probably for every generation. Yeah.

54
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:34.319
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, So we have a work first culture and people

55
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:37.560
<v Speaker 3>feel guilty about taking time off, but you definitely need

56
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:41.159
<v Speaker 3>that that time to recharge, and you know, burnout is

57
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:46.120
<v Speaker 3>a real thing, and so that time is definitely is valuable.

58
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:48.960
<v Speaker 3>And you know you're if you're getting that that time

59
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:51.719
<v Speaker 3>off from your organization, you should definitely take it and

60
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:52.680
<v Speaker 3>take advantage of it.

61
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.560
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's really fun that you can request

62
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:58.759
<v Speaker 1>time off by sending a video of Keegan Michael Key

63
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.319
<v Speaker 1>to your boss asking for time off.

64
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.719
<v Speaker 2>I think that is just a brilliant idea.

65
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:06.800
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely absolutely, and having a little fun while.

66
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:07.000
<v Speaker 2>You're at it.

67
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.120
<v Speaker 1>I haven't tried it yet, but your results may vary.

68
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:11.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna give it a world today and see if

69
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:16.879
<v Speaker 1>I get out of here for a bit. So if

70
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:19.439
<v Speaker 1>somebody listening would like to utilize that, where do they go?

71
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:21.639
<v Speaker 1>Because it's a special website you were talking about. What

72
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:23.199
<v Speaker 1>was the website again? If they want to send that

73
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:24.319
<v Speaker 1>video to their boss.

74
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:28.039
