全球假期最長國家 Ten Countries with the longest vacation大綱

In its review of the 30 countries surveyed, online reservation site 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.

在線酒店預訂網站在其針對30個國家所做的調查中發現，俄羅斯人一年有長達40天的假期。美國人一年的假期是20天，同爲北美人的加拿大人則只有15天，排名倒數第二。倒數第一是墨西哥人，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.

此前已有不少研究發現，生產力與假期長短成正比，休假可以給人充電，讓人鬥志昂揚地回到工作崗位。在美國，一些公司進一步發揮了這一理念。如IBM及Netflix公司，它們推翻了通行的2星期年假制度，改爲實行開放式的無限期休假制，以避免員工身心疲勞。
