According to a survey, 68% of respondents consider it relevant to have vacations exceeding the legal minimum when evaluating a job opening. This behavior confirms that so-called 'emotional salary' is gaining ground among workers, especially when it comes to benefits that help balance work and personal life. Likewise, 17% of those surveyed said they pay more attention to other benefits, while 15% stated that this point does not influence their decision when looking for a job and making a decision. Meanwhile, benefits such as expanded medical services, grocery vouchers, access to gyms, daycare, or additional rest days are increasingly appearing in the conversation about work. However, in contrast, 25% of those surveyed said they won't even take days off, and only 14% will take the opportunity to catch up on their pending tasks. 'Beyond the salary, employees are increasingly valuing additional benefits and so-called emotional salary, especially at times of the year that invite us to take a break,' stated OCC. How many Mexicans will go on vacation during Holy Week? According to the analysis conducted by OCC — a leading job search platform — only 11% of Mexicans will travel during the Holy Week holidays. The family picture of Holy Week vacations is not in the airports or on the roads, but in the homes, as 50% of Mexican workers plan to rest at home during these days, revealed the 'Labor Thermometer' report by OCC. This data portrays the spring vacation season more as a domestic pause than as a vacation out of town. They not only represent an incentive to attract talent but also reflect a clearer demand for more flexible and humane work schemes.
