The value of vacation in 2024

Were you too stressed at work to even consider a vacation this summer? Did you check your work emails during your last vacation?

On Wednesdays at 9 a.m., MPR News anchor Angela Davis and her guests talk about the need to disconnect from work and how a lack of free time outside of our jobs can affect our health.

Tune in to hear how many of us need to learn to rest. And join the discussion about how employers and managers can create a work culture that allows people to take vacations.

Did you take your laptop with you on your last vacation? Were you too stressed at work to even think about taking a break? Maybe you’re a professional like our guests. What helps you mentally detach yourself from work and relax? Or maybe you’re a manager. How do you support your employees when they take vacation?
