Planning your vacation in advance is key to a real break. According to data from Buk, only 5% of workers in Mexico can fully disconnect from work during their vacation. The rest remain connected, checking emails and messages, which hinders a proper rest. This creates a culture of constant availability, even during holiday periods like Semana Santa. For a vacation to be effective, companies must plan for employee absences in advance, redistribute workloads, and avoid splitting vacations into short periods. Technology and AI can help with this by automatically identifying employees who have not taken a single day off in the last 6 months and centralizing vacation information. This allows the team to know who is available and who is not, and to establish clear disconnection rules.
