Program: Saving your leave for a rainy day? Here’s why that might be a problem.

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.

Leave entitlements are building up on business balance sheets. At the same time, some employees feel they don't get enough flexibility around when they can take holidays.

We explore the reasons why workers are accumulating leave, and what it says about workplace culture in Australia.

Guests:

Sarah McCann-Bartlett, CEO, Australian Human Resources Institute

Dr Libby Sander, Assistant Professor of Organisational Behaviour, Bond University

Madeleine Dow,  management consultant and Adjunct Professor, Centre for Workplace Excellence, Uni of SA
