According to Expedia’s annual Vacation Deprivation Report 2018 as <a href="https://www.financialexpress.com/economy/indians-feel-most-vacation-deprived-in-the-world-shows-expedia-survey-here-is-the-reason/1388827/">reported</a> by Financial Express, nearly 41% of Indians wished to go on a vacation but haven’t been on a holiday in last six months due to <keyword id="431460" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="workload">workload</keyword>. <a href="https://qz.com/india/1469891/expedia-says-work-is-making-indians-more-vacation-deprived/">Only 3%</a> took a vacation every month while over one-third said they go without a vacation for six months to a year. After India, South Korea and Hong Kong were the most vacation deprived at 72% and 69% respectively. The survey was conducted across 19 countries surveying over 11,000 employed adults above 18 years of age. It was conducted online from 19-28 September across Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America and South America. The survey showed that about 24% Indians can't afford a holiday while have many a preference for a longer holiday.

While 25% of employed adults feel they might miss out on an important work decision if they avail their full vacation. However, more than half the Indians strongly feel that taking a break is actually effective and should be considered seriously as it improves productivity and has health benefits. The survey also reported that Indian workers were bothered by their co-workers and other staff, and sidetracked by work obligations even while they were on vacation. In terms of occupations, workers in the food &amp; beverages, heath, and retail industries were found to be most vacation deprived while those employed in the real estate sector were least deprived, TOI <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/indians-feel-most-vacation-deprived-in-world/articleshow/66733052.cms">reported</a>.

India ranked as the most vacation-deprived country in the world: Survey

When was the last time you went on a vacation? Yes, a proper vacation spanning weeks and not the weekend add-ons we try to snatch up for visiting nearby getaways. Long, relaxing and <keyword id="291875" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Paid-Leave">paid leave</keyword> away from your office are not what they used to be, according to a yearly study by the travel portal <keyword id="354768" type="COMPANY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Expedia">Expedia</keyword>. The number of paid leave seems to be going down worldwide and people are craving for more in a bid to strike a reasonable work-life balance. 
 In a recent study called <keyword id="1962702" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="2013-Vacation-Deprivation">2013 Vacation Deprivation</keyword>, Expedia has interviewed some 8,535 people across 24 countries. As per the findings, Europeans feel most vacation-deprived although they go for the longest vacations. In contrast, Americans grumble more but take fewer leaves than their entitlements (gasp… the majority of full-time workers in the <keyword id="6354458" type="COUNTRY" weightage="100" keywordseo="US">US</keyword> get 14 days of paid leave and they only take an average of 10 days). According to the poll, 35% people from the US say they have either cancelled or postponed their vacations due to work. 
 As for <keyword id="3658" type="COUNTRY" weightage="100" keywordseo="India">India</keyword> (or most of the <keyword id="63759" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Asian-countries">Asian countries</keyword> for that matter), we see a similar trend – people take less number of vacation days than what their workplaces are offering – an average of 3 weeks or so. 
 India is the world’s 10th most <keyword id="1962705" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Vacation-deprived-country">vacation-deprived country</keyword> and around 63% of Indians have admitted that they want more time off, as per the study. Within the country, 74% people working in Delhi feel extremely overworked and in need of vacation, followed 67% in Mumbai and 56% in Bangalore. 
 So what’s keeping you from your seasons in the sun? Apparently, the threat of <keyword id="190063" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="pink-slip">pink slip</keyword> and a deep-rooted fear of losing the job if you are away for too long. Around 18% of Indians don’t use all the leaves because they fear it will be perceived negatively by their employers while many avoid long vacations to remain in the good books of their bosses, the survey says. Overall, Indians have utilised only 20 of the 26 leaves granted to them this year. The country also leads when it comes to encashing unused holidays (37%), followed by <keyword id="6355226" type="COUNTRY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Brazil">Brazil</keyword> (30%). 
 Around 60% of <keyword id="77626" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="indian-workers">Indian workers</keyword> are not able to plan their vacation in advance because of their work – again the highest in the world – while 74% have either cancelled or postponed their vacation due to <keyword id="431460" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="workload">workload</keyword>. But the scenario is worse when it comes to <keyword id="1962710" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Weekly-work-hours">weekly work hours</keyword>. 
 Around 38% Indians work around 42 hours a week, which is much more than their counterparts from other countries, according to Vikram Malhi, general manager of Expedia (South and South-east Asia). This is, indeed, staggering when you consider the other side of the coin where people are already demanding a 4-day <keyword id="53739" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Work-Week">work week</keyword>. 
 
According to a CNN report, when Facebook executive Nicola Mendelsohn was hired as a company vice-president earlier this year, she reportedly negotiated a 4-day workweek so she could spend more time with her family. Much was made of the rumor, which Facebook would neither confirm nor deny, despite the fact that many working mothers in the US routinely, and increasingly, negotiate 4-day workweeks.

 You stay wired because you have been aligned with a <keyword id="6458484" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Work-culture">work culture</keyword> that treats work not just as a job, but as a large part of people’s lives – if not the sum of their lives. Many of our societies also treat vacation as a luxury rather than a right. According to the <keyword id="1962700" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Expedia-study">Expedia study</keyword>, this applies to the US as well. 
 The <keyword id="14348" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="french">French</keyword> are also disgruntled, according to the survey. In spite of extensive vacation leaves, they feel deprived as they are still wired with work either “constantly, regularly or sometimes” – checking work e-mail and voice messages. Incidentally, they get the longest paid vacation – a total of 30 days. Yet, 90% say they feel vacation deprived, which is well above the 62% global average. 
 
Working from home – is it any better? When <keyword id="319703" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Marissa-Mayer">Marissa Mayer</keyword> of Yahoo started her crusade against home-based workers, a Bangalore-based IT professional just guffawed. “There could be a <keyword id="23080" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="productivity">productivity</keyword> issue out there for all we know, but now they can get away after 8 hours. In India, working from home means 24x7 firefighting and contingencies are lined up,” says Anirban Roy who works for a global technology firm. 
 He keeps his system next to the bed (sleeping on the laptop is what they call it) for every possible emergency and often attends conference calls at weird hours. Needless to say, no cats, dogs, babies, spouse or <keyword id="343" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="80" keywordseo="Friends">friends</keyword> are allowed in the sanctum sanctorum. Of course, one saves the time and money on daily commute and don’t dress (for office). But that’s about all. The kind of happy pictures you get to see on the Internet (person in pajamas cuddling dogs and babies) are farthest from the truth. 
 
What will make you happy? 
It should be a mix of professional and personal fulfillment, with enough time for family and friends. Interestingly, 85% of the Indian respondents have said they are satisfied with their jobs in spite of being vacation-deprived. “But then, many of us toil under a twisted sense of power and responsibility, which makes up for the vacation days we are missing every year,” reflects Labonita. “To live a balanced life, it should be the other way round – you should be able to enjoy your free time as much as you enjoy your job. A job that gets larger than life finally swallows all other priorities,” she adds. 
 It seems a sound approach. European countries like Norway, <keyword id="49968" type="COUNTRY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Denmark">Denmark</keyword> and <keyword id="23050" type="COUNTRY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Sweden">Sweden</keyword> are already offering generous vacation endowments and their employees remain quite satisfied. These nations are not losing out on productivity either and have some of the most <keyword id="1962721" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Stable-economies">stable economies</keyword>. For all we know, relax more to work harder could be the new-age doctrine very soon. After all, fearful and jaded minds could hardly usher in new waves at the workplace of the future.

Indians Are Overworked… What’s Killing Your Vacation?

<ul><li>The growing ‘always on’ work culture has cost employees their mental health. </li><li>Nearly 46% received stress management backing from their employers, but most others feel lack of employer support. </li><li>Several companies in India including EY, Hindustan Unilever, WeWork are stepping up their employee policies for a healthy work-life balance and controlled attrition rate. </li></ul>The growing ‘always on’ work culture has cost employees their mental health. And, it isn’t helping productivity either. “The underlying motivation for working all these hours is not actually to produce high-quality work. In fact, there’s a lot of evidence to suggest that it’s going to undermine the quality of the work,” said an article <a href="https://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/women-pay-a-higher-career-price-in-today-s-always-on-work-culture">published</a> in Administrative Science Quarterly. The Indian work culture As workplace stress continues to be a universal issue, a well-being survey report titled ‘2019 Cigna 360 Well-Being Survey’ revealed that <a href="https://wellbeing.cigna.com/360Survey_Report.pdf">stress</a> has adversely affected Indian working professionals. Working extra hours have made employees better compensated and financially sound, but it has also affected their mental and physical health across companies, the survey analysing Indian working professionals noted. Performance pressure and fear of losing jobs are the major reasons for burnout among employees. According to the <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/indian-companies-need-to-provide-sick-leave-for-mental-health-3145961.html">National Mental Health Survey of India</a> (2015-16), around 15% of Indian adults need support for one or other mental illness issues. The respondents of the survey felt that they lack of support from employers. Nearly 46% received stress management backing from their employer companies, the report noted. Working women are found to be more stressed than men. Switching On The ‘always on’ working conditions have stressed employees due to technological advancements and leading to burnout, TOI reported citing a cross-cultural coach Shital Kakkar Mehra. This has lead to work absence, the HR professionals reportedly said. “In order to promote engagement, it is crucial to provide employees with the resources they need to do their job well, feel good about their work, and recover from work stressors experienced through work,” noted Emma Seppala and Julia Moeller in Harvard Business Review. ‘Work from home’ an alternative? Working from home reportedly reduces workplace stress and anxiety caused by the 24x7 work culture. While ‘working from home’ allows to get away from workplace pressure, it adds to the ‘always on’ work policy, remotely. In spite of this, employees believe that remote work options helps them maintain a better<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/in-india-flexibility-overpowers-pay-hike-on-job-change/articleshow/67975325.cms"> work-life balance</a>, thereby reducing stress. Several companies in India including EY, Hindustan Unilever, WeWork are hence <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/companies/were-off-duty-will-not-reply-to-email-wework/articleshow/69087683.cms">stepping up their employee policies</a> for a healthy work-life balance and controlled attrition rate. India, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Indonesia showed the strongest improvement in overall wellness with a rise of between 2.1 and 4.4 points, according to the Cigna well-being survey.

Flexibility overpowers pay hike An average Indian office-goer spends over two hours commuting everyday — accounting for 7% of their day. For them, remote working can be a panacea. “If this itself is brought down by a day, the levels of motivation will increase. Employees may even be willing to put in additional hours in 4 days rather than travel the additional day,” Neeti Sharma, senior VP at TeamLease Services told Business Insider. According to a recent survey by recruitment platform Indeed, employees say that if given an option - they would want to work from home at least two days a week. In fact, over half of the surveyed employees said that they would consider changing their job or even take a pay cut in if offered remote working. Increased productivity “The employees get the advantage of working at their convenient times and when their productivity is higher. At the same time, they are also provided with an environment of trust and autonomy. With happier employees and a more trusting environment, productivity naturally increases,” said Ajay Shah, VP and head of recruitment at TeamLease Services. It can also ease the stress that most Indians face. India is the most vacation deprived country in the world, as per a report by Expedia. A lot of employees who wish to go on a vacation are held back at offices because of workload. “If implemented properly, remote working can be a powerful means of engaging the workforce and attracting a wider pool of talent. Employees can channel their creativity more productively if allowed to work at their convenience,” said Sashi Kumar, managing director, Indeed India. The company offers its employees the option of paid time-off — which allows them to manage their time and meet productivity goals on their own schedule. As a cost-cutting measure Remote working can also save costs for the company who do not have to rent out large spaces. “Companies focusing on customer experience also hire people who work from home in dedicated slots for inbound and outbound calls, which saves the overall cost of company. Accenture, Erricsson, Capgemini and IBM are a few examples of flexible work environments,” said Guruprasad Srinivasan, chief operating officer at Quess Corp. Employees too save by working remotely. As per a recent study, an employee working from home saves nearly $6000 annually, while the organisation saves almost twice the amount. In that case, for each employee who opts to work remotely the organization saves around $12,000. These savings are the eliminated overheads like office space, utilities, and other expenses associated with having employees report to the office. If there is anything that remote working lacks — it the age-old collaboration that aids ideation and easy execution of tasks!

A new <a href="https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3162569">study by</a> Robert Dur of Erasmus University Rotterdam and Max van Lent of Leiden University revealed the world’s population is expressly downbeat regarding their work. Particularly, over 12% Indians perceive their job ‘socially useless’ and counterproductive — this, apparently, is the highest across the globe behind Poland, Japan and Israel, says the study. The study was conducted across 47 countries, which integrated and surveyed data from more than 100,000 workers. It found that 8% of the world’s workers considered their jobs futile, along with 17% of the lot questioning the effectiveness of their jobs. The assessment of ‘socially useless’ was based on responses from working class people who strongly disagree with the statement, “My job is useful to the society.” Interestingly, more private sector employees report having a socially useless job in comparison to that of public sector — including occupations such as teachers, health workers and police officers. While 11% of the ones employed in private business who consider their work useless involve finance, sales, marketing and public relations department. However, not all workers manage to get a job they consider socially useful. Over 50% of socially <keyword id="7103153" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="useless-jobs">useless jobs</keyword> are taken by those who perceive it important to have socially useful job. Apparently, bad managers and strict job law enforcement has risen ‘socially useless jobs’ since the nature of jobs and job creation is mainly performed by managers. While, strict legislation retains workers but changing market circumstances leave them with little work to do.

The PIL comes in the wake of widespread concerns over alleged irregularities during the online sale of tickets for the British band Coldplay’s upcoming concert in Navi Mumbai, scheduled for January 2025. Filed by advocate Amit Vyas, the PIL highlights the growing menace of ticket scalping and black marketing at large-scale events, including concerts, live shows, and sports matches. The plea calls for a thorough investigation into illegal ticket sales and the manipulation of online ticketing platforms, with specific reference to Coldplay's highly anticipated concert. The plea was mentioned on Monday for urgent hearing before a division bench comprising Chief Justice D. K. Upadhyaya and Justice Amit Borkar. Noting that a police inquiry into the matter was already underway, the court adjourned the hearing to November, after the Diwali vacation. <h2>Allegations of <keyword id="23627270" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ticketing-irregularities" source="keywords">ticketing irregularities</keyword></h2>The PIL specifically alleges foul play during last month’s sale of tickets for Coldplay's concert on the popular online ticketing platform, <keyword id="20215809" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="BookMyShow" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="BookMyShow" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="BookMyShow">BookMyShow</keyword>. According to the petition, many potential buyers were locked out of the website within minutes of the ticket sales opening, only to discover that the tickets had been sold out. Shortly thereafter, these same tickets appeared on secondary platforms at exorbitant prices, fueling suspicions of deliberate manipulation. Vyas, in his submission, noted that secondary websites were still selling tickets at inflated rates. He argued that this exploitative practice deprived fans of their right to fair access to entertainment, violating the <keyword id="20003683" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="consumer-protection" source="keywords">Consumer Protection</keyword> (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, which mandate fair and non-deceptive practices by e-commerce entities. The PIL underscored that this problem extends beyond the <keyword id="22044624" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Coldplay-concert" source="keywords">Coldplay concert</keyword>, pointing to similar issues during other major events, including the Indian Premier League (IPL) matches, the 2023 Cricket World Cup, and concerts of global artists like <keyword id="19897184" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="taylor-swift" source="keywords">Taylor Swift</keyword> and Diljit Dosanjh. In each case, fans were exploited through black market ticket sales, with prices soaring well above their official rates. According to Vyas, there is an urgent need for the government and judicial system to intervene, as ticketing platforms and event organisers are either complicit or failing to regulate secondary market sales effectively. <h2>Call for stricter guidelines</h2>The plea calls for the Bombay High Court to lay down stringent guidelines to prevent the black marketing and touting of event tickets. Vyas has asked for a framework that would ensure transparency and fairness in <keyword id="23627269" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="online-ticket-sales" source="keywords">online ticket sales</keyword> and reduce the exploitation of fans. The PIL emphasises that the lack of proper regulations in India’s ticketing sector has allowed platforms like BookMyShow to bypass rules, leaving consumers vulnerable to deceptive practices. It urges the court to consider the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, as the basis for implementing stricter regulatory measures in the ticketing industry. <h2>Ongoing police investigation</h2>Following last month’s irregularities, Vyas lodged a police complaint with the Economic Offences Wing of the Mumbai Police, which is currently conducting an inquiry. The PIL has highlighted the need for a more immediate judicial intervention to prevent further exploitation in upcoming events. As the Coldplay concert approaches, the spotlight remains on the High Court’s response to this plea and whether it will pave the way for reforms that will bring much-needed transparency and accountability to India’s ticketing industry. The court is expected to hear the matter again in November. (With inputs from agencies)
