A happy business tends to have high levels of outstanding leave as employees often dont take it as they are wrapped up in their jobs. In an unhappy work place, employees with always take their leave." I partially agree... a happy business is also a business that provides sufficient resourcing and good project and team management so that people who do their job well, can actually take their due leave time without problems. To me, having many people with lots of untaken leave time, or lots of overtime being worked, is usually a sign of bad (time/project/resource) management. Hi there,
