The day aims to reiterate the fact that you should work to live and not live to work. Observed on June 2 annually, the Leave the Office Early Day was established in 2004 by Laura Stack, a specialist in employee productivity. Laura is an employee productivity expert who, after authoring the book, also initiated a national day of leaving the office early. Leaving office early once in a while increases productivity.

Laura noticed that the average American works about 49 hours per week, which when compounded annually, is 350 hours more than the Europeans. Building upon this finding, she highlighted the disruptive and destructive effects on both the mental and physical health of the employees. With a full day based on this factor, Laura wanted to bring the focus of the public to the fact that happy employees are productive employees.
