HomeAway is trying to convince people through the power of spoken word poetry to convince people to take all of their vacation time.
A study quoted on Upworthy says 41 percent of workers don’t plan on taking all of their vacation days. On average, workers leave 3.2 days on the table.
HomeAway is a vacation rental company, so, obviously, they have a stake in all of us taking some time off (and using their services). And for the video, they’ve enlisted Prince EA, a musician and founder of a company called Make Smart Cool. It’s kind of a strange combination, but the result is also strangely compelling. Maybe because he’s cute and the message is a good one? I don’t know.
So will you be taking all of your vacation time?
