.... or maybe they want people to use their annual leave when they wouldn't be working as efficiently as usual (in lockdown).

Nice. I'd be all over that if we could travel more than 5-10 km

Maybe for some. It's fully optional. No use to me, I get overly generous leave already.
Indeed...
Understand that. Just saying it's a potential win-win for the staff and the business depending on the staff circumstances. I doubt it's a "kindness of their heart" kinda thing though, even if they present it as such. Or maybe I'm just a cunt and thinking commercially. Or maybe both (queue std. meme).

We aren't a commercial business. We are a benevolent non profit, partly run off donations and corporate support and partly off government funding.
All of our positions are fully funded, but its a particularly high stress industry, made worse by the pandemic (worse for the people we support, which is vicariously harder on our staff). I'm as cynical as the next guy, but think it is genuinely to support staff. There is no benefit I can see for the business, other than happier staff.

In my defence, a few of those were on my own time.

^ pretty common hr manoeuvre to bring down the leave aspect of wages expenses. It has good and bad pay offs for all involved and it's good that it is optional. It is certainly better than laying off a huge chunk of your workforce.
A lot of people in my industry were forcibly stood down and forced to exhaust their leave entitlements and if they had none...that was the end of their employment.

There's been little reason to take leave this year - my mentality has been that I can't really relax given everything happening, so may as well just keep nose to the grindstone. Also can't get to SA or Tas to see family and friends.
I am taking a week off soon though, partly a mental break, partly so we can deal with some other shit

Not as if the content required any great effort. But still a solid 50 odd hours of input.
