Use of Annual Leave

Over the years, I've seen a lot of people hoard and store their annual leave and in the process, burn themselves out. I understand the need to have a little bit of security for tough times and have some leave banked up but what's more important is that you recharge your batteries, refresh yourself and make sure that you are at your best not just for work but for your family as well. So if you haven't had a holiday for a long time, I'd strongly encourage you to look at your leave balance, see if you have enough owing for you and start making a plan. Just planning for a nice trip is half the fun.
