In fact, nearly seven out of ten workers consider having more vacations when choosing a job, because today free time weighs as much as the salary. 'In the context of the Easter holiday, the priorities of workers in Mexico are evolving. Beyond the salary, collaborators increasingly value additional benefits and what is known as emotional salary, especially at times of the year that invite a pause,' indicated the job platform. How important are vacations? Through the Labor Thermometer microsite, OCC indicated that 68% of Mexican workers believe that having vacations superior to the law influences their decision to accept a job. For most Mexican workers, the Easter vacation will be to stay at home or keep working as if nothing happened. The global employment firm OCC revealed that only 11% of workers will go on a trip, while half will stay at home, a quarter will not have a break, and others will use those days to catch up. Rest is no longer automatic: it is a benefit that is fought for. There is no escape. That is the real blow. The data confirms it. From this group: 18% consider that vacations are a determining factor in hiring. 50% state that vacations are an important element when considering a vacancy, although not decisive. In contrast, 32% of employees stated that vacations are not so important when accepting a position: 17% focuses on other benefits. 15% commented that it does not influence their decision. What will Mexicans do during Easter? Regarding the Easter holiday period, OCC asked workers what their plans are for this season: 50% plan to rest at home. 25% will not have days off. 14% will take this period to finish some pending tasks. 11% mentioned that they will go on a trip. Points to consider OCC reported that the reported data reflect a change in the way workers perceive rest: more than a luxury, vacations are consolidated as a necessity linked to well-being and the balance between personal and professional life. It stated that in periods such as Easter, this trend becomes especially evident, by highlighting the importance of having real disconnection time, reinforcing the need for companies to implement more flexible and human labor schemes. There is no disconnection.
