According to a recent Gallup report, employee stress remains at a record-high level post-pandemic.
The newest generation to enter the workforce is looking for concrete ways to combat this stress. In fact, according to a survey, 82% of Gen Z employees want mental health days — and burnout and lack of work-life balance is a key reason why they would quit their job.

If you feel like you're too busy to take time off or your PTO is limited, know that even a single day can feel like a break, and summer is an ideal time to get a day to yourself on the calendar.
It might be tempting to just keep the day wide open, but that's a mistake.
Here's how to spend a mental health day to maximize the benefits.
