Abstract
In contemporary high-pressure work environments, strategic vacation practices are essential for maintaining employee health and productivity. This editorial examines recent research suggesting that frequent short vacations are more effective than infrequent longer breaks in sustaining well-being. We emphasise how regular vacations facilitate recovery and enhance well-being, thereby reducing stress and improving performance. We advocate the integration of frequent breaks into the workplace culture through practical strategies for both individuals and organisations. This analysis calls for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to reconsider vacation planning and explore the advantages of more frequent vacations.
