Law is the sector where ‘taking holidays’ is most taboo, with 39% of those surveyed believing this to be the case, according to research among 1,342 employees across different industries by employee services company Perkbox.
The legal keen beans were closely followed by holiday shirkers in sales, media and marketing, 36% of whom believe holidays are frowned upon. By comparison, only 16% of those working in architecture, building and engineering felt the same. And when legal professionals do get away, fewer than one in five take more than seven days. Chieu Cao, co-founder of Perkbox, said the figures were ‘worrying’.
