Vacation stress in Austria: Almost every second one remains available!
Vacation stress in Austria: Almost every second one remains available!
A current survey by Willhaben shows that over 75% of the people living in Austria are planning a vacation for the upcoming travel season. 67.4% travel to another European country, while 39.2% spend their vacation in Austria. 15.7% of the holidays surveyed at home and 12.8% travel outside of Europe. The respondents have an average vacation time of a maximum of 15 days, because 68.8% remain during this period.
But what about accessibility during the vacation? The survey showed that almost half of the respondents can be reached for their superiors. Specifically, 12.1% stated that they were available at any time, while 34.6% keep in touch in urgent cases. Men and employees are particularly affected in the media & advertising, legal, tax & management consultancy and construction.
Availability in the vacation period
59.5% of the respondents can also be reached for college: although 75% of the survey participants do not feel obliged or only in emergencies to access the accessibility on vacation. Nevertheless, 6.4% experience express expectations regarding their accessibility, especially in the areas of transport, transport & logistics and media & advertising. Only 6.5% have experienced personal advantages through their accessibility on vacation.
Around 40% of the respondents voluntarily deal with their professional topics during vacation, even without being actively contacted. 22.1% are passive, 21.4% read emails, and 12.1% answers to emails, while 6.6% actively perform professional tasks. Unfortunately, 7.6% even interrupted or canceled their vacation due to professional requirements.
Right to unavoidability in the EU
Compared to other countries, such as Australia, where there is a “right to unreachability”, the situation in Austria looks different. Such a right is not legally regulated here, which many employees are concerned: concerned. According to the survey, 69.1% of those surveyed in Austria support such a law, 23.1% are neutral and 7.8% reject it. The most important topics related to accessibility and labor law were also addressed at European level.
The EU takes steps to establish the right to non -accessibility as a fundamental right. This is part of a legislative initiative that was accepted in the EU Parliament with 472 to 126 votes. The aim is to set minimum requirements for teleworking and to improve the balance between professional and private life, especially with regard to the health effects of constant accessibility, which increasingly lead to burnout and other mental illnesses.
The legislation could be a significant step to support employees: to support the inside of the EU. It is an important discussion because many, especially teleplacets: inside, several times a week or even daily during their free time. 30% of telepial workers do this, while this value is less than 5% for office workers. The need to adapt the rights of employees to digital reality is becoming increasingly clear.
Overall, the situation shows that the challenges regarding accessibility on vacation and during working hours should be discussed across Europe in order to take into account both the needs of employers and the employee.
